Worse ice storm in US history. 300,000 estimated to still be w/o power by the end of Feb. I haven't heard a thing from the executive office?

I don't think "those people" want to go to his concentration camp. Breakfast is free at Denny's tomorrow though.

I just hope some of the people in this country start waking up, and see what kind of  a  person Obama is.

Snow storm in kentucky!!!! According to Al Gore it should be about 85 there at least with all the global warming.  Best of luck to all of you digging out from it.

Just saw it on the news this morning... they are still getting hammered.
There was a lineman from the power company on the news yesterday saying that it's the worst storm damage he's ever seen there.

Worst I'd ever seen. We lost power last Tuesday, got it back this past Monday evening. My yard is full of limbs, service line was ripped right off of my house. Over 700,000 initially without power in KY, still about 200,000 statewide. Some areas are going to be in the dark for at least another month. Carbon monoxide has killed several, others froze to death. Over 1,000 power poles snapped off in Muhlenberg county. The electric co said that some poles had 5 inches of ice around them. My car had 2 full inches of ice on it. In the yard and field it looked like ecicles had been dropped from the sky. It was individual blades of grass covered in 3/4- 1 in of ice. Grass the size of a pencil lead covered with ice. I thought I had another gallon of coleman fuel for the old cook stove, I didn't, do now. We have plenty of candles, kerosene lamps and kerosene, gas heat, plenty of food, and a cistern to dip water from. We had it better than a lot of folks. Took water to a neighbor that had been melting snow to drink. FEMA??? Who are they???? We don't need them, we took care of ourselves, neighbors helping neighbors. In all honesty, we aren't the right color for help from the govt. POWDERMAN.  :o :o :o :o :o :o

Was a pretty nasty storm.  My truck in southeast mo has 2" of sleet w/ another 2" of ice on top.  Then about 3 inches of snow on top of that.  Took a full day to get the ice off my truck.  Trees look like they have all been racked by explosives.  As elsewhere local linemen are claiming that they've never seen a storm like this.

Dunklin Co. has an estimated 6000 poles down if I heard the report correctly today... The local camping area at Wappapello Lake has opened their campground to people w/ RV's until this is over w/. 

At a warming shelter in Sikeston, MO, I heard rumors that a 13 year old girl was almost sexually abused by a "minority".  Her father stepped in and almost touched off a riot.  Other churches have turned people away because of similar actions, limiting their shelters to people w/in 10 miles.

The power went out at my house on Tuesday the 27th and was restored on the 31st at about 10:00 at night.  My mom and dad just go theirs turned on today. 

The local power Co-oP has a MASSIVE undertaking to contend with.  Though I am still pissed at them for making my parents sit in the dark for over a week when power was restored to their neighbors less than 1/4 of a mile in either direction.  But I suppose their policy is their policy...  :-\

This may make no sense and I am not offering excuses. I worked for a power co. for 25 years and thru several Hurricanses and, believe it or not, one ice storm.
The objective is too get all back on. One is first and one is last.
In the order of priority it is hospitals, medical centers, nursing facilities, etc.
The way it happens is by applying a fix to the situation that gets the most back at one time working down the line making repairs in that order.
Yes, someone may only be a transformer fuse or a line drop away from restored power and may be one of the last left hanging.
It is not that they don't know about it  -- we used too have and old saying, "when you are up too your hips in alligators you must remember that you are there to drain the swamp.

Some  low lifes went around posing as electric co employees asking $50 to call the truck in to turn them on, a scam of course.  When caught I hope they are shot on site. I have no tolerance for punks. POWDERMAN.  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

I'm in Kentucky.

We don't need Obama's bullchit.

We just need a Coleman lantern, a few 12 packs, and a deck of cards.

Obama needs to keep his storm troopers outta here.
