An epic ice storm hit my home town Rochester, New York in the winter of 1991. The storm felled trees, damaged property and downed utility lines, leaving hundreds of thousands without heat, electricity or phone service. It took weeks to restore order in the city.
The maker of this YouTube video I discovered recently drove around town the morning after the storm hit, holding a video camera in one hand, recording the oddly beautiful devastation.
I was particularly fascinated by this video because all the streets he drove on were very familiar to me. In 1991 I was fortunately living in Florida and the only ice I encountered was in the freezer department of my refrigerator.
