Ice storm springfield missouri

[CrAiGeRToo4T]

I remember this, I went with my father to buy a generator out of a tractor trailer at 3am lol it felt like a black market deal. Paid cash to some weird guy in his peterbuilt. I think we were without power for 3weeks or more. Walmart shelfs were empty. It was like the end of days.

This shit was horrible! but i got to skip school for a while! i loved yet hated it.

[neilfaz10000]

thats even more ice than a motherfucker

[scannerman85]

That ice storm sucked! 16 days without power. The town was eerily quiet , except the sounds of generators and chainsaws. And of course falling trees!

[neilfaz10000]

@scannerman85 does this happen every year there

[TheEpicCoconut]

@neilfaz10000 no it doesnt we just have really weird weather sometimes, luckly my powers didnt go out, the down side all my friends were at my house...

[scannerman85]

@neilfaz10000 not usually, it's the wacky Ozarks weather.

out where i live north of rogersville the quiet icy stillness was puncuated by the crashing of tree limbs

[xxxEmoxSoulxxx]

[huipies]

I was helping pull a damn tree off a rock wall, but the thing slide and hit me, then fell and broke my foot. My steel toe boot saved my life -walmart brand of all things.

[mishygrrl]

i love how you could hear the generator running in the back  13 days no power it was crazy

[mikoguy]

Wow! I'm from Colorado and I've never seen anything like this with ice. The damage is however comparable the hurricanes where I live now in Florida. I bet the gas stations were empty for weeks. Are you guys somewhat back to normal now?

[mishygrrl]

we actually started getting fuel in about day 5 kerosene was almost impossuble to get for heat . back to normal now billions of dollars in cleanup . we have over 600 lbs of broken limbs in our yard alone ...massive destruction to structures and power lines it was crazy ....
