In the United States, the storm was responsible for the loss of electric power to over 10 million customers. It is purported to have been directly experienced by nearly 40 percent of the country's population at that time.[3] A total of 318 people perished during this storm.[4]

Florida
Storm surges in those areas reached up to 12 feet (3.7 m); higher than many hurricanes. With little advance warning of incoming severe conditions, some coastal residents were awakened in the early morning of March 13 by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico rushing into their homes.[17] More people died from drowning in this storm than during Hurricane Hugo and Hurricane Andrew combined.[3] Overall, the storm's surge, winds, and tornadoes damaged or destroyed 18,000 homes.[18] A total of 47 lives were lost in Florida due to this storm.[2] In Florida this storm was and still is referred to as the "No Name Storm."

Nearly 60,000 lightning strikes were recorded as the storm swept over the country for a total of seventy-two hours, and many may remember their local news organizations touting the term "thundersnow."

I remember that shyt, its the reason i will never live in a house without a real fireplace. Power was out for like 4-5 days, and we ran out of wood that last day. We ended up having to burn my sisters vanity set to keep warm. Mufukkas were dying cause everything was shut down. Me and moms walked up to the store to see if they had anything left and i was bundled up like the little brother on A Christmas Story.

These ice storms we had in the A this year were nothing compared to that.

93, I just remember having mad days off from school.
