ICE STORM IN KY

This is damage to the trees in our front yard. This was also the first warmer day (above freezing), and all this ice that caused so much devastation in our county, was now melting and causing more problems to passing cars.














This picture was during the height of the storm. I took this from our front porch, as it was too dangerous to go out beyond the porch.














This was our front side yard. Didn't really care that this particular tree broke off, as it was growing in wild anyway.















I took this picture BEFORE it started snowing.















This tree was totally demolished.

Here are some pictures from the Great Ice Storm of 2009. This is a view from behind our house looking over the neighbors yard. This was taken early on Tuesday before the BIG damage occurred. Right now the ice just looked "pretty" on the trees.


Doesn't it look pretty? All the trees and bushes had a beautiful, crystal quality to them. Fragile and glasslike.

This is another view overlooking our neighbor's farm. I loved the way the fence line leads you into the whole picture. Look at the icicles hanging down from the fence! Note the heavy power lines above the back fence.







My 16 yo son took this one. I love how the sun glistens on the ice, like diamonds.






This was a rather scary picture my son also took. A branch was (and still is) lying over this power line, weighting it down over our driveway. With the ice now gone, it is not hanging this low anymore, but my husband's car managed to squeak under it to go get gas to power the generator.
