(CNN) -- Declaring that Kentucky is "in the middle of the biggest natural disaster that this commonwealth has ever experienced," the governor sent National Guard troops door-to-door Saturday to assist people suffering from the aftermath of this week's ice storm.

The storm has left hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians without electricity and fresh water, sending many to seek refuge in shelters across the state.

That's encouraging! At least Kentucky is concerned about their residents.

The ice storm was so widespread and awful. Last night they said there were still over a half million people without electricity in the areas affected. Not good.
