Why “ice tsunami”? When sheets of ice slide off of your house, it kinda sounds like a huge wave crashing. The Governor is visiting Lexington (1:00 P.M. presser with Jim Newberry, Urban County Govt Center) and Louisville (4:00 P.M. presser with Jerry Abramson, old Federal Reserve Building) to assess storm damage this afternoon.

Rick is without power and is trapped in his home here in Tropical Louisville. We have intermittent power and mobile telephone service is hit or miss thanks to the ice. 75,000 without power.

Folks in the Paducah area tell us transformers are exploding left and right. So. It appears Kentucky is getting its snow day. What’s it like in your neck of the woods? It appears Daniel Mongiardo may have jumped the gun. One of Rick’s sources inside Mongiardo’s campaign says that the Governor will come out with [...]

First, how hilarious is it that Daniel Mongiardo announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate today but wouldn’t make himself available for television interviews? The Hill thinks Crit Luallen is a man. It’s almost like they don’t know how to use the Google machine. And they obviously don’t know how to check their own archives [...]
