We spent our day yesterday going to Princeton and Murray Kentucky. We saw at least 25 utility vehicles working the storm damage on our way to our daughters. The trees seemed to have had a crew cut or toppled over onto all the roads including the expressways. From all accounts Calloway County where Murray is, is without power. The city of Murray has power but as I said the county is without power just as we are in Crittenden County.We saw dozens of trucks at two staging areas, one was just next door at the Crittenden County High School parking lot and the other was the Eddyville Rural Electric Yard in Eddyville, Kentucky which is 17 miles south of our home. We saw at least two "Power for Lease" semi-trailer truck generators at factories along the route. "Generators for Sale" were piled on pallets in parking lots along our route to Murray.
At Murray we ate lunch out as a treat for our daughter and our selves and Motherkitty and Kitten Yarn did a traditional shop-around at Wamart before settling down.
Power lines were still laying down along the roadways as we traveled to Murray.
There were as many tree trimming and shredding trucks in the area as there were utility trucks.
The faces of the utility workers are "workers red" from snow, freezing temperatures and bone chilling winds.
When we got home we still had power.

It is a warm 52 degrees outside at 1115.
Motherkitty went to work and I ran a few errands in town. When I got back I finished trimming the branches that had broken in our few trees and set the limbs at curbside to be hauled away. Motherkitty started sorting and doing laundry two days ago and I am continuing where she left off.
This morning before going to work Motherkitty said to me, "Come watch the Kitten he is at the K.I.T.T.Y. L.I.T.T.E.R." She really spelled out the words so as the kitten would not jump out of the box.
At this moment the Kitten is sound asleep on the couch.
