Ice Storm!




































I appologize for not posting for awhile. We had a severe ice storm here in Harrison Arkansas and left us without power for a week and a half. Not a fun time. We started out ok because we had a generator and we were able to plug in the TV, space heaters, and the refridgerator. We camped out in the living room the first two nights. The next day our generator broke so we ended up going up to Springfield Missouri for two nights and stayed in a motel there. Then we stayed a couple of nights with Mike's sister Keely in Nixa Missouri. We ended up coming back home because Trevor had to go back to school after being out for a week. We have a camper that we were able to stay in and we would charge the batteries with the truck to get us through the night with heat. Our heat is propane but the blower is electric. We finally got our generator fixed and then we were able to plug in the camper to it and we had all sorts of power. You really apprecaite electricity and space of your home when you are stuck in a 27 foot camper with two little boys that can't even go outside to play because of the mud and the down limbs. Here are some pics of the damage around our place.
