Some Fun Facts about the Ice Storm 2009

Just some facts I read online about this week's storm

  • 525,000 electric customers out of power
  • 2nd worst power outage in Kentucky history (#1 was winds from Hurricane Ike knocked out 600,000)
  • 10,400 downed power lines, which was 1,000 more than in the 2003 ice storm
  • Tuesday saw a record rainfall of 1.72 inches in Lexington (This breaks the old record of 1.2 set in 1889)

Hi Ronda! I haven't had a chance to touch base with you in FOREVER. Congratulations on baby #2, I really like the name COLE, and I think Hayden and Cole sound really cute together!!
