LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Utility crews in Kentucky are making
progress, but thousands remain without power from last month's
deadly snow and ice storm.
Power companies say they've got the number of power outages down
to less than 35,000 across the state. That's from a peak of more
than 769,000.
The storm first hit Jan. 27. State officials have attributed 30
deaths to storm-related causes.
Some 101 counties and 75 cities in Kentucky have declared states
of emergency. President Barack Obama issued a major disaster
declaration for the state last week.
