LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Crews have been hard at work for the fourth day in the row trying to restore power after Sunday's storms.
"It's getting very frustrating, I'm on breathing treatments for pneumonia," said Jennifer Lohr.
Lohr is one of the Louisvillians still without power in the Hawthorne neighborhood. She's been surviving with the help of two fans.
"We're having to run power from our neighbor just to do that, and my daughter has a heart condition that she can't tolerate heat," she said.
All of her groceries are spoiled; it's money she said that has gone down the drain.
"I mean we can't eat, we can't cook so we're having to eat and it's expensive," said Lohr.
LG&E caution tape is roped around one of her largest trees that fell in the backyard.
She's afraid for her dogs to be in the back since down powerlines now run all through the tree.
"This just looks very dangerous there's a line right here; I mean I was just so scared, what if there was electricity running through the ground," Lohr said.
About two miles away, the Huffstickler's were enjoying a nice day at Lakeside Pool while they wait for their power.
"It's actually kind of nice to be able to put the tablets down for a little bit, and we've been playing a little bit more outside," Jay Huffstickler said.
Jay's kids, Jagger and Jeff, are out of school for the summer and have been more creative with their time.
Jagger said he typically has "a flashlight with [him] as a toy."
Now, they're depending on that flashlight at all times.
"Like when it gets really dark and we need it, we just put it right where we sleep," Jeff said.
They have been trying to occupy themselves as best as they can, and Jay has one message for LG&E: "Please hurry."
LG&E spokesperson Liz Pratt said they have been able to restore service for more than 95% of their impacted customers.
"For some customers, we had to re-evaluate their estimated restoration times today because crews have encountered either an extensive amount of damage or more complex issues that will take more time to repair and restore their service," she said. "This was the fourth most impactful storm for LG&E and KU over the last 20 years."
According to the LG&E outage map, they expect to have all power restored by 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
