This aerial video of Pigeon River State Forest in northern lower Michigan is hard to understand unless you know how mature red pines grow: the branches and needles are almost all at the top. Those things that look like xmas trees in the undergrowth are actually the snapped-off tops of trees.
I boosted a video of them actually snapping on the day of the storm. Terrifying
Wow.
‘Never seen anything quite like this.’
Nearly 1M acres of Michigan state forest damaged by late March ice storm.
After 16 days with no power, a friend of mine 45 minutes north of us has finally gotten their power turned back on.
There are still many without power across northern Michigan. It's been over two weeks since the ice storm.
"In Johannesburg, over 400 utility poles had to be replaced.
Normally (Great Lakes Energy) replaces about 800 poles a year and we are already at 1,100 poles for this storm."
Officials provide ice storm assessment in Otsego County, city of Cheboygan.

Whoa. And they're still working on clearing roads from the ice storms of March 28-30.
Michigan Department of Natural Resources clears 630 miles of roadway from ice storm, shares interactive map of reopenings.

Put away the skis, and got in first hike of the season. Over half of the #BruceTrail is closed due to #IceStorm damage and debris clean up. Got in 22 KM yesterday before the Sydenham section was “closed”.

Wonder how Alpena County, Michigan is doing. They announced door-to-door welfare checks yesterday.... (ice storm from 4 days ago!)
Alpena County will be conducting door to door wellness checks of our residents. To request a specific location/person be checked, click this link and complete the form https://forms.gle/jryUmMKBNtiQXDx8A To speed the process of door to door checks, hang a white item on your door if you're ok or a red item if you need help. Also see Alpena County website.
Well four #ottbikes in the garage now. The #NorcoSeceneVLT #ebikes are waiting for the last #icestorm to be over to be put in service. Tomorrow with warmer temps the #winterbikes will get end of season cleaning and chain cleaning and be put away downstairs.
Friday new #Mazda3Sport getting it's non-winter tires put on.
Slowly but surely power is coming on again.
The folks across the street have their power back now.
My ETA is 11pm. 
Big thank you to hard working Hydro crews, as well as to Arborists and Volunteers helping to remove downed trees and debris.
There is still plenty of work to go - I know folks that are really rural and probably won't get power until next week! - and there's the possibility of another #IceStorm on Wednesday.
Stay Safe out there!
