It has been a week here in Northwest Arkansas and the storm is still fresh in our minds. The worst ice storm on record. There are hundreds of bucket trucks and teams from all over the country trying to restore power to our area. I met with a man today that is still in a hotel room because he has been told he will not have power for at least one more week. Some of our friends are still hanging out at our house because they are also powerless. So many trees, yards, roofs, fridges, freezers, and groceries have been destroyed and just in a matter of 48 hours. I have seen tornado damage that was in an area, but this is everywhere. Trees are broken as far as the eye can see and telephone poles are down everywhere. It seriously looks like a different place.
Not to mention, I haven't seen anyone that isn't out of sorts emotionally from this storm. Drained beyond belief. However, we are a tough group of rednecks so I'm sure we will weather this storm. Take care of yourselves and each other.

As one of those friends who had been "hanging out at your house" because we didn't have power. I just want to say THANK YOU, your hospitality was great and you know that we are always here to return the favor if you ever need it. Which hopefully you wont, I wouldn't wish 8 days without power on anyone.
