It's been a busy, hectic time for storm victims in Kentucky. It's also been a busy time for the firefighters, medical personnel and police who protect us before and after an emergency.
Lexington police have been working around the clock in storm damaged parts of the city. Police are armed with supplies to help the tornado victims.
Police are out in force, but not in police cruisers. They're in golf carts, which make it easier to maneuver in the storm's aftermath.
Lexington policeman Kevin Goldie, "The storms hit and just demolished their homes. Luckily, they came out with very minor injuries or no injuries at all. That's pretty amazing to me."
Despite not living in Masterson Station, police feel for tornado victims and have been working beyond their normal patrols.
"We have been doing welfare checks, going door to door so that everyone is accounted for. We're just making sure everyone is OK--that everyone is safe."
Safety precautions have not gone unnoticed. Storm victim Lorie Gambill "We live in a neighborhood that--everything was open. My garage is gone. Most of the doors are gone. They (police) were here 24-hours-a-day making sure that nothing walked off."
Goldie says, "A lot of people have stopped to thank us for being here and providing some security."
Kentucky Utilities reported that 890 people were without power in Lexington as of Saturday night. That number will continue to decline. KU says it is now a house by house operation.
