Kentucky Hit by Storm and Salmonella

In the New York Times article on Feb. 5, an ice storm has hit Kentucky and there have been 27 deaths so far. 150,000 homes are without power, and many homes are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning from generators. As if this was not enough, the care packages sent out for people contained contaminated peanut butter and had to be recalled. The writer of the article questioned the governor of Kentucky and received good quotes from him referring to the salmonella outbreak, as well as the disaster. The governor also estimated that the damage from the storm cost Kentucky up to $50 million.
