The good, the bad, and the weird

The good Members of the Grace Community Church in Covington served free hamburgers and hot dogs in front of their church building. After the church’s weekly supper, members realized that without power, the food would be lost. They served the remaining food and drinks to anyone passing by.

The bad As of Sept. 16, more than 300,000 Kentuckians were still without power due to the wind storm Sept. 14. Duke Energy reported that 65,500 customers were without power. The winds have caused double the number of power losses in Kentucky than the ice storm of 2003. Andrew Melnykovych, a spokesman for the Kentucky Public Service Commision, said “This is the biggest outage in Kentucky history.”

The weird A Fort Worth, Texas, woman is charged with aggravated assault after she allegedly bit her boyfriend, broke a picture frame across his face and swung at him with a sword. According to police, they were arguing about him not doing the dishes. The woman was released from jail after posting a $10,000 bond.
