caption_attribution_description: English: On January 5, 2005, a major ice storm hit Central Indiana north of Indianapolis from Lafayette to Kokomo and Tipton to Muncie, Anderson and Winchester. There were 180,00 people that lost power including most of the residents of Muncie. High winds combined with the weight of the ice caused numerous trees to fall down and transformers to explode. The power was out for numerous residents in the Muncie area for several days. Fortunately, the Ball State students were on the end of Christmas break.
context_page_description: An Ice Storm Warning is issued by the National Weather Service of the United States when freezing rain produces a significant and possibly damaging accumulation of ice. The criteria for this warning vary from state to state, but typically an ice storm warning will be issued any time more than ¹⁄₄ inch of ice is expected to accumulate in an area; in some areas, the criterion is ¹⁄₂ inch.
  Prior to October 2017, a freezing rain advisory or freezing drizzle advisory was issued when a small amount of icing was possible.
  In Canada, a Freezing Rain Warning has the same meaning.
