I was 12 during the 2005 ice storm, now it is Jan. 30, 2011 and a bad ice storm is coming I'm praying that this one is not as bad as the one in 2005, that was one of the worst scarriest moments of my life. Also this would close school, and we will end up going until mid June. In my Senior year. :(

I remember this but almost all the houses around us had a great amounts of damage and some were destroyed. Also and old lady died because a tree fell on her house.

...And of course we all know,..that if electrical lines were buried UNDERGROUND...this never would have happened,...but mankind continues to live in ignorance and stupidity,....and guess what folks?....IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN

lol....that's the funny thing about all this...it's gonna happen again because we continue to live in a 18th century electrical grid...amazing,...just amazing stupidity

Put the electrical grid underground....doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out ROFL

That was so pretty and scary all at the same time....I had only lived in my house for a few months when this happened.

We had scores of utility trucks from other states 'camped out' in the Meijer parking lot until at least late March!! Trees were seriously damaged all over Muncie & surrounding areas. Out-of-state tree trimmer trucks came in to help clean up & stayed until summer!! With so many branches everywhere--2005 was definitely the year of 'free firewood!'

i was only 7 when this ice storm happend, i remember it all, we had a karoseen heater and we all slept in the living room, me and my older sister played the board game Pay Day the whole time, i also remember waking my mom up and asking what was the weird sound outside, turns out it was a tree branch (really big) snapping in half. the branch ended up falling and hitting the top of my house but there was no damage. i remember it and now comes 1 even worse and it is starting now

pshhh.... i remember the ice storm. i was five years old, but i remember it like it was yesterday. we didn't have power for exactly one week. friday to friday. we were SO happy when it came back on. i remember we had a little snowman push light to go to the bathroom, lol. we all slept in the living room, in sleeping bags. obviously, when if i was only five, i LOVED the ice storm and i LOVED having all the power out for a week! best thing that ever happened, when i was five. no one else did! lol!
