The Ice Storm: Quebec, 1998

From tigressemimi

I made this video with Windows movie maker. This video is a presentation of photos pulled by the album of the ice storm of quebec in 1998. This storm was terrible. We must be evacuated because it was too much cold and too dangerous. We did not have electricity anymore and all the shops were closed. The food became rare. I remember that we had to put our food to the garbage because the fridge and the freezer did not work any more. It was the hell. it fell 100 mm of ice there. To show you the extent of damages, here is some figures:

700 municipalities affected

up to 7,000 cords of wood distributed each day (firewood)

more than 60,000 meals a day served in shelters

more than 16,000 wooden poles damaged

approximately 3,312,600 litres of milk discarded

more than 3,000 pylons downed or irreparably damaged

telephone service cut off to more than 158,500 customers

approximately 1.7 million hectares of forest damaged

so you understand now what i say… but one thing was very nice… SCHOOL WAS CLOSED lol please leave your comment i'll be very happy ^^
