] Date Posted: 20:46:41 02/05/09 Thu The ice storm that hit Harrison last Tuesday was the worst disaster to hit this town since the 1961 flood. It came in two waves--one Monday night, the other all day and night Tuesday. It looked like a tornado had hit town except for the fact that houses were still standing. The some 60 trees in my yard were trimmed back by God. And now I have mastered the chainsaw for the first time in my life in order to tackle this huge ordeal, not to mention for rental houses with the tenants screaming bloody murder when their power went out (one asking what I was going to do about it). I replied "I could wave a magic wand a make it all go away." She didn't like that. She got her power on today, a week and a half after the initial storm. I'm telling you gang, this was something to behold. The skyline of Harrison is scarred for the time being. It will be years before it looks the same again, if it ever does. Hope not many of you suffered the same fate. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 12:56:49 02/09/09 Mon Greg, as you know, I manage the power company here in Conway and we had a similar event in 2000. It was horrible, but not nearly as bad as what happened in North Arkansas this year. We have sent crews to work in Paragould and Jonesboro the last two weeks to assist the utilities in those communities. My sister lives south of Fayetteville and still doesn't have power. It really makes you appreciate what we often take for granted and the workers who make it happen. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 00:54:14 03/05/09 Thu My heart goes out to all those affected by this storm. We sure have had some rough weather last year and this year. Here are some pictures you might like to look at of the ice storm. http://www.fs.fed.us/oonf/ozark/documents/2009ICESTORM.pdf http://www.extremeinstability.com/09-1-28.htm Pretty but very scary with so much damage!
