Snap Crackle Pop Fall Down

So, two nights ago we lost all power to pretty much then entire city of Springfield and the surrounding area, due to ice. No snow, just ice ice and more ice, and there is supposed to be more coming today. It is so unbelievable! I haver never been in or apart of anything like this before. It is considered a state of emergency, like a hurricane came through here or something, at least that's what the stores look like. I went to Walmart last night to get a few things, and there was hardly anything left. All the pudding cups were gone, and the water, canned foods, hot dog buns were totally gone, it was like we were going to have this enormaous hurricane come through and everyone was buying stock in everything. Last night a bunch of us went over to Marie's and Erin's house because she has a fireplace, and we all snuggled around the fire to keep warm, with all of 40 or more candles surrounding us for light. Her parents brought over their camping stove run by propane and we cooked some stew on there and boiled some water for hot chocolate. I cooked some hot dogs on the fire and we played Apple to Apples and just had a good ol time listening to the trees cracking and falling in the back ground. I highly suggest that if you have never experienced this before, you do sometime, move to a cold climate and just wait for the ice to come, it's beautiful!!
