The areas of western Kentucky hardest hit by this ice storm were close to the Indiana border, including the Henderson and Owensboro  regions, where about one half inch of ice coated trees, power lines, and roads. Sporadic power outages occurred as wind brought down ice-laden tree limbs and power lines. At the height of the outages, about 2500 customers were without power. Power was restored to all but 175 homes by the end of the day following the ice storm. Cell phone towers were damaged, causing widespread cell phone outages. Numerous vehicle wrecks occurred, but none with serious injuries. Some of the wrecks involved salt trucks and tow trucks losing control on the ice. A four-vehicle wreck on an Audubon Parkway ramp at Kentucky 1554 involved a tow truck that slid into a wreck scene it was sent to clear. One person was slightly injured in that wreck. The state police post at Henderson worked about 55 accidents in its area, while the Henderson County Sheriff Department responded to 20 accidents. A spokesman for the state police post at Henderson reported the worst road conditions he had seen in years. Henderson County road crews were pulled off the roads due to "impassable" conditions for a time during the ice storm. Some schools cancelled classes on the day after the ice storm because power was not fully restored, and some tree limbs were still on roadways. The ice may have caused a house fire in Henderson. An ice-covered tree limb fell on a power line, causing a power surge that started a fire in the basement and spread up to the kitchen. South of the Owensboro and Henderson areas, ice accumulations were around one quarter inch as far south as a Paducah to Hopkinsville line. Most of the ice in this more southern area was on trees and power lines, resulting in fewer accidents, but there were still a number of tree limbs falling on power lines. In rural Hopkins County, about 3,000 customers lost power in the Dawson Springs, Earlington, Hanson, and St. Charles areas. In Madisonville, about 400 customers lost power. Only three weather-related accidents were reported to the state police post at Madisonville. Two people received minor injuries in a one-car crash on Highway 1668, a rural secondary road in Crittenden County.
