Warm weather helped Kentuckians continue their efforts to bring order back to a state turned upside down since a deadly ice storm almost two weeks ago killed 30 people and forced thousands from their darkened homes.
Statewide, officials said Saturday the number of ice storm-related deaths had increased by two, bringing it to 30.
In addition, Public Service Commission spokesman Andrew Melnykovych says the number of power outages in the state dropped to about 90,000, down from a high of a record 769,000.
State emergency management officials said 27 water systems across the state remained on a boil-water advisory, and a total of 719 people remained in shelters as of Saturday morning.
