Blizzard-Like Storm Update
KENTUCKY...
Heavy snow covered much of Kentucky Power´s service territory Friday and Saturday causing extensive damage to power facilities and causing nearly 80,000 customers to lose power. Wet, heavy snow brought down trees and tree branches across power lines and damaged utility poles, cross arms and other electricial facilities throughout the service area. The weather has also made travel and access to some areas difficult Kentucky Power continues to work around the clock to restore power. Emergency crews have begun to arrive in the Pikeville area...some from as far away as Michigan and Louisiana. National Guard troops will be in place later today (Sunday).
