I dont know the population of our little city but we have folks without power right now too - somehow the cold caused a transformer to blow and its knocked out power all over town.

folks on the northern end of town are having problems with water lines freezing. I know it's odd but they are just a couple miles north of us and they can get colder weather. The other weekend they got 2 inches of snow and we got nothing.

there are 34000 in Alton and 16000 in Godfrey - not all of either area is effected, just the main corridor and the northern most section of Godfrey....

stil, that's a lot of people to be home cold - the kids are all home from school in these areas too.
