Subject: RE: BS: How many on MC were hit by ice storm?
North Arkansas was hit pretty hard. In town power was out for about a week, but a few miles out there was no power for a month. I think most have power now. There was also a near water crisis and boil order that few knew about. A lot of folk here do have generators, myself included, and that is great until the town's gasoline supply is gone. Fortunately the roads were clear when the tanks were pumped dry and the long lines at the two stations with generators were back. We also lost a lot of trees. Glad to say the two large limbs that fell on my house did not do much damage.
