The Aftermath of the Ice Storm

     The ice storm that hit Central IL this winter (2020-2021) did some pretty major damage in the area.  My east and north yards looked like war zones with limbs down all over the place.  It will take me quite a while to get it all cleaned up because I don't move as fast as I used to and I have a bad back and poor balance.  Below are some photos I took.  There is a big tree out behind the barn that really got hit.  The top of it looks like a whirlwind got it.  We were very fortunate in that neither of my Ham Radio antennas were damaged and there was no damage to the house or vehicles.











     I hauled 3 pickup truck loads to the burn pile today (1-9-21) and it barely made a dent in the mess.
