[AT] ice storm

[oldiron62 at gmail.com]

Western KY, near Eddyville.
I was talking and working with the Elliot company, out of Roanoke, VA. And 
they said 84 poles in a row were snapped over on the other road 1 mile away 
from us.
It was wild, 911 would not work at all for over a week. Untill our GOV 
contacted obama to get Fed assistance. Even the water was down until Feds 
brought in loads of gennys. The local hospital had to close for a few days. 
Their big gen layed down them. It was good I like to have 20 - 30 galons of 
gas on hand
