Winter Storm 2009

On Tuesday 1/27 we had an ice storm, Dean went to work as usual, but conditions worsened throughout the day.
By 3:30 PM we lost power. Dean came home around 5PM and set us up with an 'old fashioned' phone, we normally use an electric phone.
Later in the night as tree limbs started falling with the increasing weight of the ice & snow we lost our phone lines as well.
This is part the road to Harrodsburg on Wednesday.


The photos from here below are:
1)This is the view of our house from the road. Notice the high power lines in the foreground.
2)This was the view from our back deck on Wednesday morning.
Getting any sleep Tuesday night as the branches were scraping down the sides of the house was difficult. The Lord protected us and we had no major damage to the house.
3)I am standing on the front porch and the trees are right at the post of the porch.
4)Notice the rope swing hanging to the left. At the time of this photo that was one of the few branches left on this tree. We lost it later in the day.

We are still without power and telephone. But we have heat and use gas to cook with. Dean has a generator in the garage that he uses from time to time to keep the fridge & freezer going. He set us up on the computer for a little while to post this.
