Ice boulders from jammed river devastate Ohio cemetery in eerie scene (look at the photos!)

It is not just the denizens of “Game of Thrones” who have reason to fear the ice. Residents around Toledo, Ohio, this week awoke to an invasion of ice boulders, some the size of small cars, that overflowed a once-frozen river then severely damaged a historic local cemetery and park lands.

To be sure, warm weather often brings such problems as flooding and moving ice especially after a winter as harsh as this year’s. But no one was prepared for this level of damage, officials in the city of Maumee, which runs Riverside Cemetery, said on Tuesday.
