ice storm 1999 (quebec)

I made this video with Windows movie maker. This video is a presentation of photos pulled by the album of the ice storm of quebec in 1998. This storm was terrible. We must be evacuated because it was too much cold and too dangerous. We did not have electricity anymore and all the shops were closed. The food became rare. I remember that we had to put our food to the garbage because the fridge and the freezer did not work any more. It was the hell. it fell 100 mm of ice there. To show you the extent of damages, here is some figures:
700 municipalities affected
up to 7,000 cords of wood distributed each day (firewood)
more than 60,000 meals a day served in shelters
more than 16,000 wooden poles damaged
approximately 3,312,600 litres of milk discarded
more than 3,000 pylons downed or irreparably damaged
telephone service cut off to more than 158,500 customers
approximately 1.7 million hectares of forest damaged

so you understand now what i say... but one thing was very nice... SCHOOL WAS CLOSED lol please leave your comment i'll be very happy ^^

@MyVesperia, je suis sur que ce n'etais pas l'armée du Canada qui vous as aider, mais plutôt l'armée du Québec. Maudit con!!

3,000 pylons (high-voltage transmission towers) were destroyed ?!!

It must have taken forever to restore power.

@aznSe7en07 Continue to reelect Harper who is politicaly the same than Bush. Sending youth in Irak and make them kiil children or sending teen in jail to become girlfriend of paedophile, to force young girls, who has been raped, keeping her babies and scrap his life... yeah, you're right, Canada rules. Québec really want that badly! lool C'est de l'ironie le cave.

@jejeroy C'est l'événement qui m'a fait comprendre que, NOUS, les Québécois savont faire face à tous les désastres. Un peuple de batisseurs fier de ce qu'il est.

[MyVesperia]

On attend toujours de recevoir un peu d,argent de la part du gouvernement pour ce désastre. Vivement la souveraineté du Québec!

En passant, de spectaculaires images qui me rapelle des souvenirs.
