Phantom Power: 10 Years after the Ice Storm
by sarah pearson
Montrealers!! The Ice Storm of 98!! This week’s the 10 year anniversary of our very own natural disaster. It was a wonderful, magical, mysterious and very harrowing experience. Like any big historical event, we all have our “where were you” stories. It’s truly such a part of our city’s collective consciousness.
It’s wonderful to be thinking back ten years to that crazy January…and cool that we’re having such bizarre rainy weather this week. There’s something in the air folks, somethin’s a’brewin’.
Here’s an Ice-Storm-inspired song from The Tragically Hip - leave it to poet/songwriter/eccentric Gord Downie to immortalize Canadian history into good old rock and roll.
