Last Thursday night an ice storm hit and knocked out power lines and trees. Our little Town has been at a standstill. The dept of power said that full power won't be restored for up to another 10 - 14 days.
They have set up a shelter in a local church as many lost their homes. A neighbor had a tree go through his roof!!
My chicken coop prevented a tree from going through my house, as it was balanced on the corner, and had to be removed and cut down by a tree guy. He said that it would have gone through the house and caused a lot of damage.
My 2 older kids away at College also had to be evacuated as the generators were working overtime.
The temps have been low, and we have snow again.
The kids school has been closed since last Thursday, and they won't be returning until January 5th.
My H and I and the 6 younger kids all stayed in one room upstairs as my house got to be 40 degrees indoors.
We have had one helluva week, but we survived and hope to try and enjoy the rest of the holiday season.
Sending huge ((((hugs))))

There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
