We are still holed up at the Drury. We have power and cable came back yesterday. The boys brought their Wi and there is soda on tap in the lobby so they are happy.
Restaurants are open during the day. The boys traipsed to Taco Bell and Donna and I ate at O'Charleys. There is still a sundown curfew. Most places were only taking cash since they couldn't get connections for their card readers. There are still long lines at the gas stations with police controlling things (thankfully). Wal-mart by the mall finally opened but the lines were the worst I've ever seen. Power is restored to about half of Paducah Power users. Jackson Purchase only had about 2000 out of 25,000 restored as of last night. Nobody with West KY electric has been restored.
Cell service for AT&T finally came up last night at least for now. Something about them not having generators at their towers and having to get them. Seems like that would have been standard equipment for situations like these?
Most everyone I know still has no power. I've heard it could be weeks before things get repaired even with all the extra help.
Keep everybody here in your prayers. I'll try to keep things updated as best I can.
