ohiofarmer 3,265 #1 Posted February 24, 2023 So while I was washing my car 200 miles away without a jacket, we heard from our daughter in that place up North. She often calls when on her way somewhere ,and she was walking to the gym for a workout. She said "Wait! i hear a tree in front of me making sounds." We heard a crash, and then she sent a video of a tree that split right to the ground. her power has been off for 36 hours so far...... How are you guys doing up there? Reports from weather sites suggest that there is about a 5/8ths thick coating of ice on the trees Her next door neighbor had roof damage to her living room and a deck on a newly constructed Air B&B .

SylvanLakeWH 25,535 #2 Posted February 24, 2023 Roads are fine. Widespread power outages. We've been out since yesterday afternoon. Generator working just fine. I lost many white pine branches and at least one tree - probably two. Pure Michigan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,265 #5 Posted March 1, 2023 She finally got back in the place sunday night. UM was on spring break and an employee who went on vacation let her stay warm at her unoccupied place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
