Ice storms suck. The last one we had here people were without power for up to 19 days. I was fortunate enough to hit a hotel for a few days before my exes father got power back and we bunked up there.
My parents were both without power for 11 and 16 days. Mine came back on day 13.
Luckily this was during the time I "took a break" and had rehomed all my animals.
...and wouldn't you know it, my electric bill was somehow higher the month I went 2 weeks without power than the surrounding months...Then the CEO of the power company took a $1Million performance bonus a few weeks later....
