Question of the Day - September 18th!!

[strange_wings]

Two and a half weeks, maybe three. In the middle of winter of 2002. A bit of info, by looking that up one should be able to find plenty of pictures http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/storms/20020129/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Ce...ains_Ice_Storm - probably the same storm AlleyGirl referred to.

The worst part of it was that because of lack of power, fuel and food were starting to get harder to acquire by the end of two weeks. Batteries were impossible to find after the first couple of days in. The areas hit were declared a natural disaster and luckily the state did receive funds to help with that.

We lost power nearly 2 weeks once after a hurricane went through Virginia Beach. Our grid was one of the last to come back one. We were used to being the last grid though, and had a generator.

However, we still lost a freezer full of meat.
