We had an ice storm a few years ago where most of the state of Oklahoma lost power for about a week. Some got lucky and were out only 3 days, others were upwards of 3-4 weeks. Imagine *everything* being out of commission...how quickly what you take for granted is no longer available...like "heat" and "fuel" and "food" and "basic communications"...to be honest, I'm surprised there wasn't a ****-ton of crime going on. I did find it interesting the amount of fallen tree debris that was piled up around town - 2-3 acre area piled up 15+ feet high...and several dozen of them around Tulsa...100 year storm...
They don't treat the roads much where I live, though in Tulsa they make an attempt.
Not like Michigan. Heavy on snow, light on ice, and they have packs of trucks and TONS of sand/salt mix. Roads are cleared pretty quickly, they have snow routes when it's really bad, and cars don't last long up there...lol.
