Did the ice storm hit Branson? If so, much damage?

Yes, thundericestorm! Today is the first day it will be above freezing since it hit. The day it started our thermo said 31 the whole day and 29 the next morning, so it was coming down as rain. It didn;t move off 29 all yesterday, until last night, about 18.

Spotty damage here. More to the north, Springfield again. They got more the first day, but were lucky that the precip line moved south, to us, that night.

Lots of power outages and most of the generators in the area have gone to the tornado areas in N. AR, Gassville and Flippin.

There was a lot of damage and power outages in the Cape Girardeau, MO area. We still own our home there and I was up from Tennessee, we are getting new carpet installed so that we can put the house on the market in March. I lost one large elm tree and major parts of three others - hope they can be saved.

Glad the Branson area wasn't hit as bad.

We went to Galena today, to see what we need to do to get started with our new house. They had a lot more ice there, and it was not melting like it is here. That's only like 25 miles.
