Drone video shows ice storm's devastation in Pigeon River Country State Forest

(Freep is the long-used nickname for the Detroit Free Press.).
See video link in the news article. Forest is almost totally devastated- almost nothing remains of the red pine forest but a bunch of stripped tree trunks. OMG!!

One local energy co-op reported 99% of their customers lost power as a result of the March 28 ice storm. Some still don’t have power restored.

Trails and parks throughout northern lower peninsula and in eastern upper peninsula are closed until further notice.
