Easton, Maryland Video

A majority of this footage was shot at Idlewild park in Easton, MD. The beginning is shot between Glebe Rd. and ST. Aubins Terrace in Easton. It looked like a war zone, and at times it sounded like it. The last few seconds were shot while I was driving on some backroads. The icestorm struck February 10-11. It left a coat of ice, one to three inches thick, from freezing rain and sleet! Meanwhile, across north-central Maryland 4 to 7 inches of sleet accumulated. By far, the hardest hit was an area was about a 50 mile wide band from near Fredericksburg, VA across southern Maryland (Charles, Calvert, St. Marys) up to Annapolis, across the Eastern Shore (Queen Annes, Caroline, and Talbot) and over Sussex and Kent Counties in Delaware. Some counties lost 10 to 20% of their trees from the heavy ice. Trees fell on homes and cars. Roads were blocked and impassable. Electric and phone lines were down with as much as 90 percent of the county's people without power. Outages and damage were so widespread that many people were without power for a week. A presidential disaster declaration was given and damages were estimated at near $100 million. There were numerous injuries from car accidents and people slipping.In Anne Arundel County alone, hospitals reported 104 weather related injuries in two days from the ice. This was likely the iciest winter Maryland has seen this century. The music is "Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan it was track #4 on "The Matrix " soundtrack released in 1999.

During his time on the track, MXPTV put a helmet cam on Tyler and this is what we got. (Note: He is aboard a Suzuki RM250 two stroke.)
