    "At its height, the storm knocked out power to 1.3 million customers from the Southern Plains to the East Coast, more than 700,000 of them in Kentucky, a state record. By Sunday, the figure had dropped to nearly half that across Kentucky, with scattered outages in other states."

    "By Sunday night, 93 of Kentucky's 120 counties along with 71 cities had declared states of emergencies, according to Monica French, a spokeswoman for the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management. She said officials attributed 16 deaths in Kentucky to the storm."

      We went through this last month here in New England. Some of the neighboring towns went without power for over two weeks. The hot water heating pipes in many homes froze and split and when the power came back on the walls became soaked and ruined as well as the pipes needing to be replaced. What a mess. I don't envy those poor people in KY.

        Sending prayers that those without power get it soon.
