We weren't smart about it- we figured the power would come back on soon enough so we waited. By day two with no heat and freezing temperatures it wasn't really safe for us to stay in the house anymore so we tried to book a hotel- they were all booked up because other people hadn't waited as long. Thankfully we found a room at an extended stay about 45 minutes away. We got lucky in that we were only there for two days- a lot of other people we talked to were there for more like 10. In terms of the damage done and the amount of people without power it was about 3 times worse then superstorm Sandy.

Several of these people are buried nearby, and one of them is one of the only known unborn survivors. I refuse to see the 1997 movie adaptation of Titanic, since there are so many historical inaccuracies and anachronisms, not to mention forcing modern-day sensibilities into the world of 1912.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-43442902751888138382015-04-12T09:47:14.965-04:002015-04-12T09:47:14.965-04:00Isn't that incredible?Isn't that incredible?Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-5712740586413364992015-04-12T07:26:02.992-04:002015-04-12T07:26:02.992-04:00Eight inches of ice in one storm.

I've experienced a few more since then--another in high school that shut down school for a few days, one on an interstate that doubled an 8 hour drive and one each in NY and MI that left me powerless for a few days... But the beauty of the sun when it rises after the storm has passed and it reflects off the ice is incredible.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-16681674979391828732015-04-11T08:59:42.975-04:002015-04-11T08:59:42.975-04:00Icebergs are beautifully deadly. ;)Icebergs are beautifully deadly. ;)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-50292637262382764172015-04-11T08:59:17.477-04:002015-04-11T08:59:17.477-04:00Icebergs do have a bad rep now.
