In January of 2007, Springfield, Missouri had the worst icestorm they've had in 25 years. People were out of power anywhere from a few hours to 3 weeks. We personally were out of power for 8 days. We lost trees and a freezer full of food including our extra holiday turkey. If we had known we were going to be out of power for so long we would have moved everything outside where it was below freezing.I had just gotten out of the hospital from having surgery and with no power at the office it gave me a chance to recouperate more than just a weekend.
Well now a little over a year later we are having another icestorm. This one doesn't look like it's going to be as bad, however as of last night's news about 5,000 households were without power. Not nearly as bad compared to last year where it was about 75,000.
This storm makes us extremely glad for the opportunity to move back to where it's warm and the worse thing you have to deal with there are the monsoons.
