Corinne Boyer

Thousands of Kentuckians are dealing with power outages this morning and having to cope with bone chilling temperatures as well.  The poweroutage.us website this morning reports just over 146,000 customers statewide without electricity.  That’s out of more than two million customers total.  The Lexington-Herald Leader is reporting at least five people have died in weather-related vehicle accidents.
