1. We had an ice storm about 20 years ago in Raleigh and we were without power for a week

Very widespread power loss, very low temps, horrendous and miserable.

temp inside the house was well below freezing. Different reasons - many electric lines were above ground and were taken down by an incredible amount of tree limbs falling on them.

Once the streets thawed we got lucky and ended up in a hotel for a night.
