During the NWA Ice Storm of 2009, we stayed in two different hotels for four nights before being persuaded to stay with friends in Bentonville. It was on the fifth night of not being able to sleep in his own bed that Daniel couldn’t get to sleep on a borrowed sofa bed.
The week of January 26, 2009, Northwest Arkansas (and a lot of the rest of the upper South) was hit with a massive ice storm. People called it a “category 5″ or “generational” storm. It did millions of dollars in damage to the area, which has been declared a state and federal disaster area. Personally, it was a VERY disturbing and motivating experience.
