Midwest Ice Storm 2009

[Phelan]

Not too much thought put into composition, etc on these photos as most were taken either from the drivers seat of my truck, the backseat of my brother in law's truck or while standing precariously on patches of ice. Most were taken with my S5, a few with my iPhone.

Full set of 195 pics and 1 video

power lines suck.

some good photos. the third one really stands out because it really explains what happened it a nutshell with the icey powerline. it does a good job showing how damaging the storm was but the last showed the beauty of the ice on the trees. i was in the same storm only i got it around the joplin area and it wasnt so bad up here. hope you get everything cleaned up all right

Good shots. I really don't miss that one little bit. I am out in California right now instead of back there freezing my butt off and cooking over a candle. lol

I like the fourth one. I suggest you photoshop the power lines out of it though.

Yeah really like the 4th one, I know most people don't like things like power lines. But I think in this case down power lines show the damage, which is cool.

Wow I heard about this storm... you guys got it worse than we did a month or so ago. I feel for you. Power must be out everywhere.

Neat pics!

Technically not photos, but here's some videos from yesterday. Heavily traveled roads thawed fast, side roads still had snow/ice/sleet on them. Turned out pretty good for being shot while driving.
