we had a bad storm hit saturday and with bad ice and wind. Over 1 inch of ice with 30 to 40 mph winds.
Poles and lines and trees are down every where. I lost power yesterday morning. They are saying the power will be off over a week here and might be on by the middle of next week.
I have a gen running so i can have a little heater and one light and the puter running. I have a guy coming over after bit and going to wire it in the house so i can get my well and furnace going again.
Nancy was watching out the window and saw this one go down across my drive.
This is a fraction of what kind of mess that is here.
This branch is hanging right over the top of my garage.
This tree is cracked up the center about 7 ft long.
Its about 60 ft tall and if it comes apart will hit my house. We are going to try and drill the tree and run a long bolt through it and pin it back together. If it dont work i will have to hire a guy to take it down.
They are saying that there is 250,000 people with out powere here in iowa. Its going to be a long week.
