Well Thursday night we get about 2 inches of ice on the ground, they said 6-10 in of snow, I'm like yeh right that'll take 3 days to come down and stick, but its slick roads so me and my friends go drive around, I teach my one friend how to drift a little cuz he was to scared to stay on the gas all the way around the turn, LoL.
We are in town, there are 2 transformers on a telephone pole they both blow up, about 20 yards or so away from us. We're like, HOLY $HIT, thats badass, so I go up town and tell the cops, they go to the site, Half of main street is closed cuz fallen trees, I go to my friends and we are sitting outside and I park and try not to drive under any trees cuz they and thier branches are falling down.
The ice makes the branches 3 times the wieght so all you heard when you were outside was CRACK, then it hits the ground real hard, nothin shorter than 7 feet, So the city is workin all night, cops are runnin around with fire trucks too. I'm helpin the city out, tellin them where the big branches are on the roads, we couldn't move them they were froze to the ground.
Town looses power.
I go up to the graveyard to watch the trees fall, wut a SITE I TELL YOU. I'm walkin around my truck, 20 or so degrees out but heat or cold don't bother me, I look down I'm like 6 inches away from stepping on a downed power line, I'm like WTF!!!!! Call the dispatcher and tell them of the downed power line.
Stay up almost all night building fires for people to keep warm. Wake up go up town go to the 3 streets that you couldn't even see the yard all you see is trees/branches laying all over the ground and go offer help to people, for $$$$$$$$$$$ of course, I never asked but they gave me some which was the whole idea, $20 an hour is wut I made. :D
So this was the worst storm in the history of this area.
