@ClarinetJordan15 how long was your school closed, we were out of school for 3 or so wks. and about the trees i woke up that morning and looked outside and no lie, i seriously for the first 5 or so mins thought "this is the end of the world" it freaked me out that bad because i had never seen anything like it before. before this i had never heard of an ice storm.

@katiatomsk7 "white People"., why would u say that? Racism isnt the answer...everyone suffered then, I'm white myself..and it offends me...

This is one of the worst storms i have ever experienced..I couldn't go to school for a long time, but luckily we had a gas fireplace so we kept warm..we couldn't go outside at all because we were afraid trees would fall on us..You could here them breaking at night..it was an eerie feeling.. i hope this never happens again

Frozen trees breaking in the middle of the night sound like bombs going off too.

Obama didn't care, because we voted for McCain. what a jerk.

Wow, looks like winter wonderland! Where I live that just doesn't happen. I would imagine that ice knocks out power as well and it could be very dangerous to drive in. Nice video by the way. 5 stars
