I'm thankful that I could write this story. It reminded me that change doesn't just happen, it takes amazing people to make it work: https://t.co/eElkCmwE2C

On #NationalLinemanAppreciationDay, LG&E and KU recognize and honor Leon Smith, a pioneer in the company's history. Leon was Kentucky Utilities first African American lineman. He started his first day on the job in December of 1970. #ThankaLineworker #ThankaLineman

Stay weather aware this evening! We could see some strong to severe storms within the next few hours... the main threats will be large hail and strong winds

SCARY: No, this is not a hurricane. This is just how strong the winds got yesterday at Jacobson Park in Lexington. 😬😬😬

For #GivingTuesday, if you're looking for a writing-related nonprofit to support, consider the Lexington Writer's Room -- I'm the incoming board chair in January. We've recovered and grown to 84 members since the fire that devastated us in March: https://t.co/cHxQ5uf0nK

A view into what must have been a harrowing place to be just 12 hours ago. Apartment in South Louisville with the roof peeled off after strong storms and a tornado hit the Louisville area. @courierjournal with @Utterback13

[LG&E and KU @lgeku]

The Straub Elementary Kindergarten class in Maysville, Ky. made thank you cards and sent cookies to the crews in Maysville to show their appreciation of the line workers hard work during the recent wind storm.

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

The outage map for @lgeku lets you zoom into an area. There are still scattered outages, but by last night more than 99% of those who lost power in Friday's historic windstorm had been restored. Crews are working on the last remaining areas. More: https://t.co/IXlq5Bvqxq

[LG&E and KU @lgeku]

Be cautious when clearing fallen tree limbs and debris from your yard after a storm. Avoid making contact with branches or debris that may be in contact with downed power lines. If you see a downed line, please stay away.

[LG&E and KU @lgeku]

We appreciate your patience and understanding as our crews continue to work around the clock to safely restore power for all customers impacted by the March 3 storm, which hit Kentucky with hurricane-force winds.

[Daniel K. Lowry 💡 @daniel_lowry]

Appreciate @MayorGorton for her help & coordination during the third largest storm event for @lgeku in 20 years. We've gone from a total of 370,000+ customers losing power on Friday to about 40,000 Tuesday morning. Crews are grateful how folks understand & appreciate their work.

[Annie Brown @AnnieBrownNews]

ICYMI: if you’re like me and still don’t have power, hopefully this helps!! @lgeku says customers should expect power to be restored to everyone by Wednesday night.

[Daniel K. Lowry 💡 @daniel_lowry]

From 346,000 LG&E and KU customers losing power on late Friday afternoon to now, on Monday morning, we're down to about 45,000 KU customers still out. We hope to make significant progress today. For folks still without power, it's frustrating, but crews are working hard.

[LG&E and KU @lgeku]

Our crews continue to work around the clock to safely restore power to the communities we’re proud to serve. We continue to make progress - out of the more than 346,000 customers impacted, more than 222,000 customers across our service area have been restored as of this evening.

[LG&E and KU @lgeku]

Thank you for your patience as our crews continue to help the community recover from what is now the third most significant event in our company's history, impacting more than 300,000 customers, downed more than 2,500 power lines and broke more than 230 utility poles.
