Electric cooperatives working for nearly two weeks to restore power in Eastern Kentucky reached a milestone Monday, as total co-op outages dipped below 10,000 for the first time since the first ice storm on February 9.
As of 6pm Monday, 9,978 total co-op outages were reported in Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky.
Despite warmer temperatures, some roads remain icy and slick. Meanwhile, icy conditions for power restoration crews have been replaced in some areas by mud, muck and much debris. Additionally, falling trees and limbs continue to trigger new outages even as crews rebuild infrastructure destroyed by the weight of ice and snow.

With some power outages in Eastern Kentucky in their tenth day, electric cooperative crews on Friday continued to address major damage to the system, including snapped poles. Efforts have been complicated by debris, blocked roads and relentless falling trees, branches and ice.
With a rebuild of significant parts of electric systems necessary, co-ops in Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky continue to gradually but urgently restore power. Co-ops began Friday with about 36,000 consumer-members without power. As of 4pm Friday, that figure had dropped to 27,601. At the height of the outages, more than 100,000 consumer-members were without power on Tuesday morning.
