I'm hearing that most of the Madisonville area is still without power and it's going to get cold for the next couple of days.

Thanks, Russ. No cleanup for me as I don't have any trees around my house (gladd I don't now). My neighbor has some very large oaks behind us and there are some big limbs down that crushed part of his chain-link fence he just had installed last year, and a couple of small ones fell on his roof, but no damge done. Other people weren't so lucky and rec'd damge from trees. Still lots of power lines and poles down, but the crews are working through the cold weather to get things restored. We were actually expecting to be w/o power for another week or so due to we're in the county and not part of the town power grid.
As was mentioned in above posts concerning gouging, I heard there was some low-life SOB selling kerosene heaters for $400 a piece, and then there was a semi truck loaded with chain saws and some off-brand low-wattage generators which would probably sell for around $300, and they were selling them (generators) for $1k a piece. Of course they've left town now. I hope the authorities locate them and prosecute them. There were about 3-4 guys and they were also driving an RV with Texas plates. I can't believe that they were allowed to setup in the Kroger parking lot, and they even had a little kiosk-type shack where they gladly did the transactions.

Nope, no one here did anything either. I think there should be some type of ordnance or law whereas people who do come to town to assist with supplies for sale and such, should have to have some type of on-spot check by the local authorities and check their prices before they even sell one item. If they don't/won't comply with standard prices then send them packing! :evil:
