Storm leaves residents of several states without heat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CADIZ, Ky. — Storm-battered residents of several states hunkered down in frigid homes and shelters Thursday, expecting to spend at least a week without power and waiting in long lines to buy generators, firewood and groceries.
Utility companies in Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Arkansas and West Virginia warned that the estimated 1.3 million people left in the dark by an ice storm wouldn't have power back before Saturday at the earliest, and at worst, as late as mid-February.
Already, the situation was becoming dire for some communities in Kentucky, where the power outages crippled pumping stations and cut off access to water. Tracie and jeff Augustinovich's home had very little running water, and though they stocked up before the storm, they weren't sure their supplies will last.
"We're buying up anything that we can eat cold." Tracie
Augustinovich said.
For heat, the couple were us$ _{10}$ a kerosene heater loaned to them by a friend — at least until the fuel runs out. When it does, she said, they would go to a shelter.
Utility crews found themselves up against roads blocked by ice-caked power lines, downed trees and other debris. Help from around the country was arriving in convvoys to assist the states with the worst outages. But with so many homes and businesses in the dark — there were more than 600,000 across Kentucky alone — the effort is still expected to take days, if not weeks.
St. Louis-based AmerenUE said it had added 800 workers to its efforts to restore power in southeast Missouri, and another 800 were expected Friday.
"As we restore some, we're losing others. The ice is just so treacherous," said utility spokeswoman Susan Gallagher.
Hundreds of shelters opened their doors, and deputies in some communities went door to door to
let people know where they were. Since phone service and Internet connections are spotty in many places, there wasn't another way. In Harrodsburg, Ky., where phone service was restored, residents were asked to call 911 if they needed transport to shelters, said John Trisler, the county's judge executive.
At a Red Cross shelter in Louisville, Joy McKnight was waiting to be reunited with her family. Her three grandchildren and the family dog were staying with friends, her daughter was putting in long hours as a security worker, and McKnight and her mother were staying at the shelter.
"I'm just taking it a day at a time," she said.

People without power line up at the EZ Shop in Henderson, Ky., for kerosene to heat their homes Wednesday. More than a million homes and businesses that were left in the cold without power Thursday in the wake of an ice winter storm could face a lengthy wait for electricity to come back, even as federal aid was promised to two states hit hard by the blast.
