Kentucky Utilities Co. reports fewer than five customers in the immediate area are without power. Those are near Fredonia.
Outages are reported near Irma, Sheridan, Mexico, Deanwood and Mattoon as well as others in the north-central and east-central portions, too.
Some of the customers in Crittenden County have been without power since before 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Downed trees and falling limbs tore down lines. Also the weight of the ice on lines and poles caused some damage, including downed poles.
Kenergy crews worked through the night and still had about 1,400 customers without power as of 6 a.m. today. They hope to have everyone's power restored by 6 p.m. today.
"It all depends on conditions – work conditions, driving conditions, etc.," said Renee Beasley Jones, communications and public relations manager.
