Hopkins County residents may be w/out power for 3-4 weeks. It looks like a bomb went off.
I'm in Louisville with no power but finally seeing a few utility trucks in area today. Madisonville photos are stunning. I am trying to get word from my brother and his family there. Scott Milby - where are you???? Hope to hear from you soon.
We have power on West Noel Ave In Madisonville God is Good
We also have power on Frederick street in Lakewood Estates! We are all praying for a miracle.
I live in Madisonville and my power was restored yesterday. Crews are working as fast as they can. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE... It reminds me of a warzone or the tornado in 2005.
I live in the earlington/barnsley area in ky and just got my power back on yesterday, 1/2 a mile up the road my in-laws are still w/o power. We stil don't have water. A tornado would have done far far less damage than this mess.
I live in Dawson Springs and igot my power restored 3 days ago....My parents are in a hotel because they have no power. A friend of ours lost there home to a fire. Utility crews work non stop...it looks like a tornado went through every street.
living without power was tough its good to see everyone coming together to help out.
We're still without power. Only 2 people on this line, so they say it will be last. I told my wife we won't get it until the end of the month. Poles are okay, just broken wire.
more & more people can't take care of themselves with the latest tech. thats really bad.
I went throught the ice storm and i remember every day blending together-nothing changed-except the fear that every crashing sound in the forest by our house would bring a tree through the roof-i never want to expierience that again It was terrible.

I am so sorry you are having to go through all this. It is terrible. I have a sister, niece and nephew and families living there. I pray they will be able to work a miracle and get your utilities back on.
