Louisville, KY. (AP) -- Airmen from the National Guard are headed to Ohio to pick up Humvees to aid in relief efforts from the ice storm that has crippled parts of Kentucky, especially in the western region.

Sgt. Phil Speck of the Kentucky Air National Guard says the Airmen will board a C-130 in Louisville on Sunday afternoon to fly to Columbus, Ohio. They'll drive back to Kentucky in the Ohio National Guard's humvees and spread out to areas of western Kentucky where they are needed.

**SNIP**

On Saturday, Gov. Steve Beshear ordered the deployment of all Kentucky National Guard troops and some Air National Guard units to aid in the recovery effort from this week's ice storm, which caused the largest power outage in state history.

I survived one week without power after an ice storm a few years back. There's nothing good about it.

Pray that Kentucky thaws - fast!

We have friends who went through the last NH ice storm. They said it was terrible ... 10 days with electricity makes you love coal.

party time.... it’s been one big party since he took office and to the best of my knowledge he hasn’t made one comment about all the people who have died and are suffering from these ice storms... much less flown over and observed the damage... and FEMA can’t drive on ice so they are waiting for it to melt first. (only partial sarcasm)
