Ice Storm Paralyzes Southern Kansas Utility Network
Hundreds of repair crews worked to restore power and telephone service after a severe ice storm iced over southern Kansas. Utilities suffered over 500000 dollars in damage across 75 towns from Coldwater to the Oklahoma and Missouri borders, with more than 744 poles down and 600 long distance circuits out on Southwestern Bell lines. Governor Avery authorized National Guard engineers in Harper to aid Anthony, while Sumner Cowley Electric Coop reported about 500 broken poles and 1650 miles of line serving five counties. Restoration progress continued, with some towns still without service and repairs to extend into next week.
