Kentucky ice storm

This week several states including Kentucky were hit with a major ice storm. Im not sure how common ice storms are in Kentucky. I grew up in Dallas. We had a major ice storm almost every year. Every year the power went out to some section of the city. This probably still happens today. Maintenance. Cutting trees over power lines can prevent some of these power outages. Also, burying power lines so they are not susceptible to the forces of nature can prevent some of these outages. None of these ideas are new. All they would take would be some money. I see no reason why in the year 2009 large cities like Louisville should be in the dark because of an ice storm.

We were the last to get power in Versailles. The power was out 7 days. Thankfully we got a generator (that would kick on the heat) from my step-brother-in-law. We were paying about $100 a day to keep this thing up and running. REALLY wasn't fun!!
