Crazy Ice storm!. I like how you used a drone to get most of the shots! Very good idea! and it keeps you away from the danger that is the power lines shorting and on the ground! At least if you get to close with the drone you're only out the drone itself and not your life!
We went through this in 2009. No power for 5 days. Generator saved us. Now we have Generac whole home generator. Now, 15 seconds after power outage, system is running. PTL! We hurt for these folks. Being senior citizens makes it so much harder.
I could see a power plant from where I lived, still no power until the fourth day after a storm that left two inches of white ice covered by another eight of snow in the 1970s. People have it easy nowadays.
Been through ice storms. I feel for these people.
Freaking mess, prayers going to all affected. At least Northerners have been through these things enough to have emergency supplies and good tires. Care for one another. Thank you for revealing a situation MSM won't.
To be fair, channels like these for example… the MSM has to ask permission to use their footage since it’s more freelance people that does these
Oh now Fargo, North Dakota has an ice storm ☔️ foo. Too- I hope they don’t have much power out if they have any generators to use! 😮😮😮😮
I feel so sorry for these people because here in 1998 we had an Ice Storm and before we got back our electricity it lasted close to 30 days. Main power lines were down and it took some help from the Vermont, New-York and some from New Hamshire I believe at that times plus Hydro-Quebec task force. So I do understand them a lot. I will have a lot of simpathy for them.
Wow
Shows you how out of whack our weather is. You should be getting tons of snow. A blizzard maybe. Other places heavy snow. Ice storms typically hit Texas and other points south (but not always). You get my point. Strange stuff.
Cold weather, snow and ice in the middle of winter in North Dakota is not an indication of 'Climate Change'.
@@frankblangeard8865 who said it was? All I’m saying is that the weather is out of whack in that there is so little snow anywhere east of the Rockies. I live on the east coast and haven’t seen snow for over two years!
In 2022 Boston tied its all time daily record for snow at 23.6 inches. Living on the east coast of Florida are you?@@johnr5252
I would rather have full-on blizzards with -40F wind chills than an ice storm. I was happy it decided to stay west of us.
Interesting use of a Grader's mold board and snow wing for tree disposal.
You should see that operator on a road lined with mail boxes.
Hahaha!!@@brian8410
That's nothing. I walked home from elementary school one day in the 1970s through a winter wonderland of bowed trees with icicles hanging all the way to the ground. It was like something from a fairy tale.
I believe the first few clips are from my neighborhood. Madison-Unicorn park?
We had a big tree branch that hit part of my house the branch is on the ground in my backyard
Sorry to hear about the branch. My parents live in Fargo, wondering just how bad it was there. They have a big tree in their backyard
👍
Uggg reminds me of the ice storm we got in 2004 in ohio. Looked like a war zone on our street. Hope everyone is ok!
Where is this at?
It legit says Fargo in the title my dude
@@Themenace. Fargo could be anywhere, i needed specifics my dude. Anywho with a quick google search i found the actual location.
North Dakota
@@Themenace.Fargo could be anywhere
@@Themenace. There are several "Fargo's" in the USA, so their question is legit.
North Dakota
But they still have power ! 1/8 “ in Louisana shuts down power , water , roads and jobs 😂
Fargo doesn’t have a good reputation for winter weather!
I love ice storms. People call me crazy, but I think they're beautiful. They're destructive, yes. But as someone once said, "There is beauty in destruction."
Look not to the meteorologists, neither to the so called "experts", for they know not better than you do. They tell you what some other tells them. REPENT; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!
Cold weather, snow and ice in the middle of winter in North Dakota. Watch the climate crisis people say that this is an indication of coming doom.
Wow
