Break out the candles and fireplaces!! Because after the Ice Storm of 2007 we are still without power. It is Friday Dec. 14th. We lost power around 3:00 a.m. on Dec. 11th in the middle of the ice storm. This occurred when a tree limb fell on our supply line to our house ripping the ground, and line boom from the box. At least 50% of all the limbs on the trees in our yard are now on the ground. We experienced about 3/4-1 inch of ice build up. This ice build up wreaked havoc on most large trees and power poles. We are on about about 1700 homes in Atchison alone without power. With the assistance of FEMA, people are receiving power by the hour, but we are still without this afternoon. We are shooting for Monday, but the energy company told us it could be as long as Dec. 22nd before power is restored.
But don't worry, Mama, baby and I are staying at the FOCUS Green Door Apartment at night and our great friends the Arps (complete with fat cat, Simba) take us in during the day and for meals. It was pretty frustrating at first but now we know there is nothing we can do for now. Just pray and wait for the power companies to get caught up. I have included some pictures of the destruction below
