Just after Friday’s storm, a large tree fell on Stanaford Road, bringing power lines with it.
BECKLEY, W.Va. — On their third day without electricity, Karen and Larry Bowles are now into a routine.
“We sit on the porch and use the grill to survive,” Karen said Sunday afternoon. “We’ve haven’t seen Appalachian Power since the power went Friday.”
Larry quickly added, “No, we saw a truck come through here on Saturday. They didn’t stop or tell us anything.”

Talmage Cunningham, also of Temple Street, was on the verge of throwing about $100 worth of groceries away
