Over 250,000 people in Kansas lost power, phones and internet

late last night as the ice storm we had was taking lines down faster than they could put them back up. Three towns right next to were I live still have no power as a major power plant went ofline due to the storm but they are going to get powered up sometime tomarrow if all goes well. I got my power back on early this morning but my internet provider get'd it conection from Kansas City and a lot of the city still has no power but luckly the provider of the internet is up now about 30 mins ago

I spent about 6hrs breaking thru the ice(about 5" thick) in my drive way about 20' long by about 10' wide so I could get the wifes car in and out since it's up hill she would of slid into the street and never would have been able to make it back up. I barely made it up in my 4wd had to drive half way off the drive with one set of tires in what is supposed to be my grass but more like a sheet of ice.
