Midwest Ice Storm

An ice storm that’s hitting the midwest is leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

In Oklahoma 500,000 are without power, and the power company expects it to be a week to 10 days before everyone gets their lights back on.

The power went out at my neighborhood in Kansas City this morning at 5:00 AM. When the rain freezes onto the power lines the weight of the ice causes the lines to break and we watched about a dozen transformers blow all across the neighborhood. It looked like bombs going off.
