Rare October Ice Storm in Oklahoma

We are experiencing a rare ice storm in October - our meteorologist says a “record” ice storm. Since our trees still have leaves, the ice accumulation is creating extreme weight on the branches, and unfortunately our large trees are breaking everywhere. While out walking with my camera, I heard what sounded like gunshots and then would see large limbs falling, Our trees are devastated.

I did, however, find beauty in the ice formation, and will share with you.

We are having some fall colors, which is nice with the ice.
