@jimcantore.bsky.social it’s really bad up here brother! Nearly 40k homes still without power day 10!

More ice … so much more came Tuesday and while we are surrounded by trees heading them crack and fall is a terrible sound. By Wednesday weather was getting better but this devastation was just terrible. But… it was melting!

Monday Danny went in to work after fielding a ton of calls from his Nurses, CNAs and support staff. It was worse than I thought. Widespread damage. And more ice Coming Tuesday.

Sunday afternoon and into the evening we could hear trees start snapping and falling. Many trees lost the top 25% of their height. Thankful I had thought about this and got an indoor ventless propane heater to keep it warm upstairs… but power was out everywhere … 97% of the County Sunday night

Saturday we kept up with the rain / sleet / snow combo. And trees started leaning from the weight of all that Ice till we lost power. Sunday it just kept coming until finally everyone was out of power … but we still had TrueStream Fiber. Danny scored us a Generator and with it we could get by…

Northern Michigan Ice Storm 2025 was no joke. 6 Days without Power, water, wifi or even cellphone signal. Here is a bit of what we went through… rain started Friday and temps hovered around 31 degrees #PetoskeyMI #MIWX … Saturday got worse…

Birds have taken to just sitting on the banister below the suet feeders… Bourbon has made it his job to keep an eye on them … wresting this head on the table whilst doing so. #GreatDane @celticcur.bsky.social #Petoskey

Bourbon continues to improve… he had his gastropexy last week and we have needed to keep his big wiggly but in a compression bandage … and sedation meds don’t seem to do a thing. Whew. #GreatDane
