Are you really as stupid as this post as yours? If there is ineptness,
it is on the part of the probably privately owned power companies
serving Kentucky. Despite their gouging their customers for years, they
obviously have not spent enough on training and equipment to meet the
needs of their customers in case of weather emergencies. It's just
another private sector failure.

Harry, your reply is just as stupid IMO. Kentucky isn't exactly an area
that
experiences regular winter ice storms like those of this winter.
The power companies rely on mutual assistance from other states for this
type
of aberation.



Harry is from the Rahm Emanual school of problem solving.


Quoting from his biography:

"Emanuel was encouraged by his mother to take ballet lessons as a boy and is
a "graduate of the Evanston School of Ballet." He won "a scholarship to the
Joffrey Ballet" but turned this down to attend Sarah Lawrence College, a
liberal arts school with a strong dance program."

I think "liberal arts" is code for indoctrination...

Two points:

One: If FEMA is not in Kentucky, after this long, it is because the
Governor of Kentucky has not requested Federal aid in witting. Its a
states rights issue. It is possible that unlike other areas of the
country that can not blow their noses without federal assistance,
Kentucky is prepared to do it themselves.

Two: If you were not lost in your virtual world, or would get away from
the coastal cities, you would know there are power company crews from
all over the country working to restore power in the area. There are
national agreements between the power companies to provide assistance in
this type of situation. I have been through several hurricanes,
tornadoes, and ice storm, each time these outside crews are there
working beside with the crews from the local company.

If you drive the interstates during these times you would see, convoy
after convoy of power trucks going to and from the area of the disaster.
I am surprised at the distance they come, some times several hundreds
of miles to respond.

How come 2 million blacks were able to converge on DC in a single day with
below freezing temperatures, yet a few hundred thousand could not manage to
leave New Orleans with a 4 day notice with 90 deg temperatures?
