Mention an impending disaster in Louisville, and youre likely to get a chorus of In my days back at ya.
As we face down a potentially dangerous ice storm, with a quarter inch of the slippery stuff predicted for Derby City, Kentucky residents took some time off raiding the grocery store to reminisce about the winter storms of years past particularly 2009, when ice over an inch thick caused 609,000 homes across the state to lose power. In Louisville, schools were closed for an entire week, and it took 10 days to restore electricity for the whole city.
Other Twitter users were unimpressed with the 2009 Ohio Valley Ice Storm, bringing up other instances of severe weather like
The Bluegrass Ice Storm of 2003, when 280,000 customers lost their power.
Or the record-breaking snow of 94 when 15 inches fell in a single day in Louisville.
And, finally, the day the Ohio River froze over in 1977.
