I shot these two videos just as the sun was going down about 5:30pm this evening and although I hate the sound of my recorded voice, I'm posting these so you can hear all the branches breaking all around me. As I get more videos, I'll post them here w/ these. All the bangs you hear is the ice breaking the branches. The 1st one is from my back deck & the 2nd one is on my front porch.
These last 2 videos are not really what can be seen, but what can be heard - except at one point, there's a flash, which is a transformer. And, when I'm talking about the tree directly in front of me, I'm meaning that the branches are hanging over the house located behind my house and they're swaying badly.
I'm posting these photos in the order they were taken
This is the same tree shown in the last 2 photos.
Large oak tree behind my house
Fallen branch off one of my trees
This is the branch I talk about in one of the videos above that's resting on my house
One of the smaller branches that's fallen off one of my trees
This is the dangerously low hanging power line I mention in a video above
A limb that has fallen on my roof
Not good!!!
These last 2 photos are later shots of the same tree in the 1st photo - Notice the break in the branch.
My dish is out now & it's 11pm - Another branch just fell on my roof. I'm going out to see the damage.
Shortly after I checked for damage from that fallen branch, another one fell on my roof. Then later, another one. It's shortly after 2am now & I can't sleep, but I'm so tired & my head is hurting. Every time I hear limbs on the side of the house start falling, I jump up. I've about had it with all this, it's so unnerving!!!
Now, it's snowing

These are scary videos, Tricia. I hope your house is okay and that you haven't lost power. Stay safe.
Wooo Tricia. This is horrible. I hope and pray that it doesn't get worse and you don't lose your electricity.
We got lucky this time. All we got was rain.
Take care and stay SAFE.
Hugs,
Betsy
stay home from work day!! eat some stew and watch a movie and snuggle up with the kitties!
I feel for you. The noise those trees make when they are breaking from the ice is a horrible sound. We had about 6 branches break but luckily it didn't bring down our powerline. And like you it gave me a horrible headache. Sleeping is almost impossible. Hopefully this will be the end of the ice storms for this year. Take care.
This is so terrible. Take care!
Hang in there, my friend. Winter weather is a scary season. Stay safe and keep us updated. This is a very good post. I sure hope it warms up soon for you...
((Hugs))
Spectacular and scary videos and sound! Having experienced a severe ice storm, I can sympathize about how out of control these situations are. I hope all is better soon!
How awful to go through this! I'm so sorry. What a truly eerie sound! May God bless you with His peace, so you can rest. I hope you don't lose power.
May I borrow pics from your post and link back to you???
Tricia, that was awful! No wonder you couldn't sleep. I hope the damage was not too bad. The pictures are fantastic! Hey, there is nothing wrong with your voice...you should hear me. lol
I have posted some. Just let me know if you want me to take them down. Great captures. I hate what youj're going through. I'd send you some of this warm air, if I could!
That's just awful....
I am wondering how you survived through it all...if you get a chance give us an update. We didn't get the ice and sleet, thank God. Got several inches of snow though.
That cracking sound is un-nerving...plus the limbs landing on your house. Just hope all is okay with you.
Scary videos, are the branches still breaking?
We had an ice storm here last night. We got .21 inches of ice.
This is what we get instead of snow. But not usually this heavy. That's a bunch of ice!
