The power company Kentucky Utilities says it is making great progress in restoration efforts in the area. The company has also posted some photos on its Web site (click here) taken by linemen while working after the storm.
KU spokesman David Ward said, "Many of the poles shown are transmission poles and structures. Though they look simple, they are highly engineered to specific standards and much more challenging to build, repair, or replace than a normal wooden utility pole. These pictures are reasons why we lost so much of our infrastructure contributing to the outage times."
