Thanks for the concern. I just came back to life and internet access today. I've posted some pictures and a description of what it was like on the wildlife and nature thread.
I've never seen anything like it and really never imagined an ice storm could be so devestating and dangerous. This really was a life-threatening situation for at least the first week. Many are still without power and I know for a fact the utility companies are lying about how many are still without power.
I lived off the land in the mountains for a couple of years, so I never worried about my life, but my wife really had a hard time of it.
