Driving south to Florida, we encountered lots of damage from an ice storm that hit Kentucky the day before we left. Trees were practically on the lanes of I-65 and definitely bending low. At Horse Cave, the McDonald's and gas station were closed. We didn't see a real lot as it was dark.
The next day, leaving Franklin, Tennessee, we saw several convoys of electric trucks heading north for Kentucky.
Coming back this past Monday, we saw several convoys of trucks heading south, their job in Kentucky apparently finished. There were still downed trees along the sides of roads in Kentucky.
We drove around Newburgh, Indiana, and saw many, many piles of limbs. The Tuesday Evansville, Indiana, newspaper reported that limb pick up was to start Feb. 16th, with two areas a day picked up until completion.
They really got nailed by that ice storm.
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
