There was a big power outage in Morehead this morning. An area covering several city blocks near the Interstate was out, including a number of stores, offices, restaurants and the public library. I had been in the library for a bit when the power went out. The librarians indicated that the last time this happened, it was at least an hour until power was restored. Rather than wait around with my laptop batteries low, I opted to head out. Driving to the interstate and the traffic lights at two big intersections were out. Lots of backed up traffic and three police cars with their blue lights flashing. I was hoping to see them out and about, directing traffic. No, these officers were sitting in their cars watching the traffic. And people did NOT know how to operate at a four way intersection with the lights out. No one taking turns, no one looking carefully. This could have been a big series of fender benders and instead, the cops are sitting their watching. Maybe y'all don't have reflective vests? Maybe your not supposed to direct traffic? I don't know but it could have been better. [Review 19561 overall - 160 in Kentucky - 532 of 2023.] read more
