  • My son was born right before the storm hit, it sucked having a newborn and you couldnt even go home, because we didnt have power for a month.... Love the rogersville drag videos too!

  • There used to be a LOT more of them until they pulled a ton because they didn't like the music in them. :(

  • Let's hope for no repeats this year!

  • Well it is 67 degrees on Nov 19th, so far so good!

  • Excuse my ignorance... what is an Ice Storm? Like snowing but colder?

  • It was actually exactly at freezing. It was raining, and the instant that the rain hit the ground, or a tree, or a powerline, or a car, or whatever, it would instantly freeze to ice. The weight put onto the trees was fantastic. And it still isn't close to cleaned up around here.

  • I live there and on that day of pure "WAR HELL" all the trees got their &*&%^&ss kicked. I moved my car when I heard all the loud cracking of trees breaking and some limbs fell on my power line and shot so much electricity to my house that all the lights got very BRIGHT and every electronic device in the house melted including our central heat furnace, TV, microwave, etc.. We had to move out for 11 days due to no power or heat. It was actually colder IN my house than outside was.

  • man during this icestorm i was like 9 now im 11 and me and my mommy lived in a traler we got stuck in our house because some ice broke our doornob lol

  • We were without power for 2 weeks, my mom and I came so close to getting hit by a falling branch it wasnt funny!!! The first day was fun,we rosted hot dogs over a fire, but the days just got worse and worse, my neighborhood lokked twice as bad as that!! I had no clue what an ice storm was, and we had just bought a house and moved in about 2 weeks before the icestorm!!!!! Drove past our old home, and a big walnut tree had fallen through my Old room!!!! Wow, hope to never see one like that!!!

  • we were without power for seven days, my mom was without for two weeks. ice storms are the true meaning of beautiful but deadly. the last big ice storm before the '07 one here was in 1987 on christmas day. it's referred to as black christmas. i was more than eight months pregnant and scared that he'd pick the middle of the ice storm to be born. he waited till january 17 of '88. in the 07 ice storm, i made his b-day cake by candlelight in our gas oven which we were using for heat.

  • Let's hope for a less painful and less deadly winter this year!

  • its pretty clean around here now :)
