actually, for the Quebec ice storm, some areas of the province went without power for as long as six weeks... yes, SIX WEEKS... 100 000 people were evacuated. 16 000 soldiers were sent in for various tasks. 25 people died. yes... quite a storm. I was lucky, I was out of power for 4 days. And it seemed like weeks.

Incredible collection of ice storm photographs! The one I took in Atlanta was definitely an accident and it was quite exciting to wake up and see everything frozen over night...

I live in Ontario, so ice storms are nothing new for me...but the artistic photos will remind me to not just see freezing rain as a nuisance, but to stop and take a look at the beauty it creates.
Thanks for another great post!

I well remember the Spokane ice storm. On campus, there is a four story dorm that faces a bunch of tall trees, and the residents were cheering as the branches broke off. Why not? Nobody was walking down there, and it was probably the only entertainment they could get with the power out. I spent the evening in one of the few places with power— the Honors study house. It was quite a party.
The pictures I have from the day after are quite lovely but non-digital. Thank you for posting the link!

hi, I came here via stumble, and I just wanted to thank you for actually putting some effort into this post. Nearly every other click on the stumble button produces a blog entry showing extreme natural phenomena, but this one is the first and only that actually had interesting and helpful reference information and obvious thought put into the presentation. Thanks.

hi, I'm from Ontario and remember the ice storm really well... I managed to be able to stay in my home for the first week. After that I had to go to my folks house for a week and finally with a friend for the remainder. I was without power for 21 days. It's amazing how beautiful nature can be when at her most destructive. Everything was quiet, no sounds of cars or anything, just the sounds of the ice as branches moved in the wind and pieces fell. A truly awesome experience!

Wow. I can easily imagine that. Still, 21 days without power is pretty hairy.

I live in New England, and Ice Storms are just a common part of life here. I remember a big Ice Storm back in '97 that knocked out power to around a million people. I was out of power for about a week, the entire state of Maine basically shut down.
They can be the most destructive of storms, but they can also be the most beautiful sights in the world. Watching the morning sun set afire a forest enshrouded in ice, with nothing but the sound of tinkling branches falling in the wind, is something you can't forget.

The second to the top casemod is "The BFG", it's very very nice model of the BFG in the Doom games, even with a working stroboscope in it. You can view the whole proces of creating this casemod at: http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1188110/ . It's in Dutch, but there are more than 100 photo's.

The truck that has 'US airforce afterburner' written on it, just to let you know, is more than likely a just a monster truck... when they transport monster trucks they remove the large wheels and fit small ones and then transport them separately to be easier.

re: Police Oops -
This reminds me of the only traffic accident I saw while in Rome, Italy for an entire summer.
It stuck with me because if you've every witness the traffic in Rome, it seems totally chaotic, yet I almost went throughout the entire summer walking the roman streets without witnessing a single crash.
The one wreck I did see though was a police officer rear-ended a guy driving a Vespa, and even that accident wasn't that serious. The Vespa owner walked away from the collision just fine. I didn't get to see what happened to his moped though.

It's really tell about the very old mariage of religion with war. Always walked hand in hand for thousand of years.
And they are still walking hand in hand richard.
The Land Raider is from the "Warhammer 40000" Sci-Fi gaming system (or WH40K for short). "Warhammer" is a fantasy gaming system.
The theme song for this page should be "Onward Christian Soldiers".
