Louisville, Kentucky is facing a challenging winter storm, leaving more than 54,000 people across the state without power. These icy, cold conditions have swept through the Bluegrass, causing havoc for thousands of families trying to stay warm.
Kentucky has been hit the hardest, with more power outages than any other state dealing with the storm. Illinois, the next most affected state, is seeing over 20,000 fewer outages in comparison.
Some of the worst-hit areas in Kentucky include Hardin County, where around 3,700 residents are currently without electricity. Bullitt County is also struggling, with more than 3,600 homes left in the dark.
LG&E, one of the state’s major power providers, reported that 7,358 of their over one million customers are without power right now. That’s a big number, but crews are hard at work trying to restore electricity as quickly and safely as possible.
Winter storms like these are not just inconvenient—they can also be dangerous. With freezing temperatures, staying warm and safe becomes a top priority for everyone affected. Local teams and utility workers are doing everything they can to bring relief to the communities facing these outages.
As Kentuckians pull together during this tough time, it’s a reminder of how unpredictable winter weather can be and how important it is to be prepared. Stay safe, check on your neighbors, and keep an eye out for updates as crews work to get the lights back on.
