LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) The Christmas Day explosion in Nashville continues to impact communication services in Kentucky, including more than two dozen school districts.Â
Toni Konz Tatman with the Kentucky Department of Education says about 29 schools were still without internet services as of Sunday evening.
Most of our education technology services are in the cloud & there are a variety of paths to get to those services. There shouldnât be anything major that @KyDeptofEd or our districts canât access, if they need to access them, during the winter break. #KyEd Toni Konz Tatman (@tkonz) December 27, 2020
Tatman added that schools shouldn t have any major problems because most services are in the cloud. Schools are still on winter break for a few more days.

Kentucky school districts have had their internet access restored after a Christmas Day bombing in Nashville knocked out networks across the region.
The explosion damaged an AT&T building causing widespread service outages across the region including in Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Indiana.
The network was down this weekend for nearly 60 Kentucky school districts, along with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) offices in Frankfort, according to KDE spokeswoman Toni Konz Tatman.
“This appears to be concentrated basically in central Kentucky and far western Kentucky,” she said. “Though it did reach Anchorage Independent up in Louisville.”
On Saturday, the Louisville Free Public Library said it had been impacted. Due to the explosion in Nashville yesterday affecting AT&T s services, network services at the Library are down, the Library said in a Facebook post. At this time, LFPL.org and associated applications, computer services, and our phone lines are unavailable.
The library said computer use appointments at the library would be canceled until the network is restored. We are providing curbside pickup of materials, but ask for your patience since it isn t possible to call into the Library branch at this time, the Facebook post added. Please help spread the word and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Details about the War of 1812 are not as widely known when compared to the Revolutionary or Civil Wars.
This war has been referred to as the second American Revolution as the still young United States of America still had issues with its freedom. During this war, several Federal Buildings and the White House were burned causing the loss of many military records. The search for remaining War of 1812 records can be revealing if found.
In my own research, I obtained copies of the records for my ancestor. Keeping in mind that photocopy machines were not in existence at that time, I found where the original family Bible record was torn from the Bible and sent as proof with a pension application.
