Some power crews from West Virginia arrived in E-Town late last night with some emergency generators for the local water pumping stations, which are still on a boil alert due to possible groundwater contamination.

My brother-in-law's sister drove up from her home south of Nashville with a generator she'd bought for their parents who live up in Meade County. The Meade County Electric Co-op is in so much trouble they don't know where to start. Their main lines were cut, so they zero power output through the entire Co-op, and have no idea when they are going to fix it.

We are preparing to move out of the hotel, and hide out at a relative’s place with power and water still.

Nothing west of Dixie Highway has power unless you make it yourself. FIL’s nursing home is on backup power, all the residents are in the dining room with space heaters.

My Guard unit already had generator crews ready to help, but those guys are going to get tired quick...
