anybody wanna see some cool pics of the aftermath when everything was said and done?

i live right here and the end result was the entire shoreline turning into one gigantic 10-20 high glacier that extends out about 750-1000 feet from the shoreline

the house that had hundred pound ice chunks thrown in through the windows

the lake, this is all 100% solid ice, not a single bit of snow. 30 feet high in some spots

the old boating dock house (was picked up and tossed about 100 feet and tossed on the other side of the dock parking lot)

standing on the egde of the glacier, didnt wanna go any closer cuz i wouldnt be getting out

 ![http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k117/matty240sx/icestorm018.jpg](http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k117/matty240sx/icestorm018.jpg)

thickness of some pieces of ice

in the bckground is our beach pier

people swim out to it and climb up it to jump off into the lake, the drop to the water is about 20-25 feet  
the ice is almost as hgih as it in its low spots
