“During the ice storm, freezing rain coated the roads, trees, and power lines with a thick layer of ice, turning the town into a dangerous, glittering landscape. Cars slid at intersections, and many schools and businesses were forced to close as travel became unsafe. Heavy ice caused tree branches to snap and power lines to fall, leaving some neighborhoods without electricity for hours or even days. People stayed indoors to keep warm, listening to the crack of breaking branches outside while emergency crews worked to restore power and clear the roads.”
