It's been a very crazy few days. Oklahoma was hit by an ice storm on Sunday night, which led to a few unforseen problems. The ice weighed down limbs of trees that either forced the tree to fall or heavy limbs to break and down power lines. We were out of electricity both at home and work. Luckily our electricity at home came back Monday night, but I had to go to work today with no heat and minimal computers that were actually operable. There are over half a million Oklahomans with out electricity. I'm one of the lucky ones, who didn't have to be with out heat and electricity for more than 24 hours. It's been really weird to see entire shopping complexes closed and larger stores like Walmart and Target running on generators. Some parts of the city look like a ghost town. Below are a few pictures I took of the ice in my backyard.
It's pretty, but such a mess...
Finally...this is what we do when we're bored and stuck in the house...we read....yep, even Mousse is becoming a voracious reader! =)
