Photo from Ice Storm in New England

This is a picture of the Ice Storm in New Hampshire last thursday night. My son gave me this image and put it up for me. I didn't know how...I'm quite limited when it comes to inputing images....
We lost power early Friday morning around 3:00AM and got it back around 5:00PM. Where this picture was taken, the people just got back their power this afternoon late. Power lines were down throughout the state, as well as the Maine coastline. I was lucky, Although, my basement flooded with about 2 inches of water because my emergency generator broke and I didn't have a spare. By the time I got it fixed, the power was back on. I tried to get a replacement, but most all the stores were closed and by the time I found a store, it was late afternoon and I just ordered a replacement generator to be delivered in the evening. On my return home, I stopped to pick up my repaired generator and brought it back for installation. Shortly thereafter, the power came back on, the phone which had also been out came on and the store called informing me my new generator was in.. I picked it up to be used as a spare in case..Now my son wants the one I had repaired..So goes a day in a life........
