Day 3 of Louisville Blackout


Down from 340,000, less than 200,000 now without power in Louisville, including yours truly, after Sunday's "dry hurricane". Ike pushed a cold front through that far exceeded wind advisory forecasts.

Above, a small house is crushed (that's a house on the left!). Below, a very old tree crushed a car. Both these photos I took Sunday less than 100 yards from home which gives you an idea how widespread the damage is. The blessing is that there was no rain, weather has been perfect and even a full moon lights our dark neighborhood.

All the neighbors are out and talking which is great.

LGE says 10-14 days to restore all power due to 410 poles and 6,000 lines down. Good times!
At least Starbucks is open.
