Thousands of residents in the Killeen-Copperas Cove area went through a third day without power to their residence Wednesday, and the situation is serious.
Beverly Ledbetter and her husband and three sons stuck out the cold in their south Killeen home for the first two days, but then they fled to a friendâs house in northeast Killeen for relief from the bitter cold.
The first night, her children were able to embrace the adventure of a night âroughing itâ without power â answering comical questions for kids and brainteasers online by cellphone light.
âWe made it 34 hours in our house without power,â Ledbetter said. âWeâve waived the white flag and have taken shelter at our friends house â dogs and all.â
