Hurricane hosts Fourth of July CelebrationHurricane gave Putnam County residents a chance to think about something besides power outages and extreme heat on Wednesday afternoon as the city hosted its annual Independence Day cele-bration. Thousands turned out along Main Street in Hurricane for an afternoon parade that featured the Hurricane High School band (top left), a military honor guard (top right), dozens of local politi-cians and the city’s own Fire Department. Following the parade, area residents were able to go to Valley Park in Hurricane for a free evening of activity that included waterslides, face painting, clowns,games, and of course fireworks.

service.More than 370 circuit breakers
were taken out of service due tothe storm and all but 47 are backin service.
More than 100 transmissionlines were affected by Friday'sstorm. 80 percent of these lineshave been either partially orcompletely been restored to dis-tribution stations. All transmis-sion lines have been patrolled byhelicopter to assess damage.
At least 500 poles across Ap-palachian’s territory were brokenand needed replaced, and thou-sands of spans of wire damaged.On average, it takes a crew ofthree or four people approxi-mately four hours to replace asingle pole.
OUTAGES AND RESTORATION EFFORTS
Power restoration will be ongo-ing for at least the next five days,ccording to Appalachian Power.Estimates are based on currentassessment and no furtherstorm-related outages.
On Tuesday evening, newstorms hit various areas of Ap-palachian Power's territory.
Earlier in the week, restorationtimes changed in a few areas forthese reasons:
Storms from Sunday eveningcaused an additional 30,000 cus-tomer outages throughout theAppalachian Power service area.
Because there are several mil-lion people throughout the coun-try without power, it has beenmore difficult to find outside as-sistance. Tree removal workers,damage assessment specialists,company line mechanics andoutside line contractors.
Appalachian has secured help
from Texas, Illinois, Iowa, Ne-braska, South Dakota, Missouri,Alabama, Louisiana, Florida,Mississippi and Georgia to jointhe restoration effort and willcontinue to bring in additionalresources as they become avail-able.
STORM WEATHER PERSPECTIVE
Friday night's storm was partof a massive straight line windstorm that traveled close to 700
miles in 10 hours, devastating 10states and leaving more than 4.3million customers without elec-tric service throughout the
United States, according to Ap-palachian Power.
Company and state officialsare characterizing the storm assimilar to or even greater than ahurricane, but without advancewarning. The storm producedwinds in excess of 75 miles-per-hour and heavy rain across alarge portion of AppalachianPower's service territory.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONIn the event of a major power
interruption, life-support cus-tomers are encouraged to con-tact Appalachian Power'stoll-free customer service num-ber to advise our representativesof their situation. Due to the na-ture of restoration activity, Ap-palachian Power cannot assurepriority restoration for life-sup-port customers. Life-supportcustomers are advised to takeprecautionary measures to pro-tect themselves in the event of apower loss. Contact relatives orfriends for assistance or tempo-rary accommodations in theevent of a prolonged outage.Keep emergency phone numbers(physicians, hospitals, safetyservices, utilities) posted nearyour telephone.
If you use a portable or RV gen-erator, do not plug the generatorinto your circuit box. Portablegenerators "backfeed" electricity
up the line and risk the lives of re-pair workers and the public. Fol-low the manufacturers'instructions carefully, and plugessential appliances directly intothe generator. See additional in-formation about use of backupgenerators.
Hot weather is expected tocontinue across much of the areaaffected by the storm. Customerswho have electric service are en-couraged to consider hostingfriends, neighbors and relativeswho are without electric service.
Customers are reminded thatduring storm restoration situa-tions, Appalachian Power treecrews clear rights of way of treesand move on to the next location.Appalachian Power does not re-turn to remove the cut trees.Property owners are responsiblefor brush removal.
Residents without power areasked not to stop crew trucks asthis will only slow down repairs.Appalachian Power asks for yourpatience and understanding dur-ing the restoration process. Inmany areas, crews must rebuildsignificant portions of electric fa-cilities to restore power.
Electric consumers are askedto report their outage again ifthey have not called within thepast 24 hours. This will ensurethat all consumers' electricity isrestored as quickly as possible.

CHARLESTON - West VirginiaAttorney General Darrell McGrawsays he has reached an agree-ment with a California-baseddebt collection company, nettingnearly $2 million in refunds andcancelled debts for state con-sumers.
On Tuesday, McGraw an-nounced that DP and Associates,of Irvine, Calif., has agreed to payout a total of $1.7 million.
According to the Attorney Gen-
eral's Office, the company en-gaged in "unlawful and threaten-ing" debt collection practices andattempted to collect debts with-out a license.
In January, McGraw's Con-sumer Protection Division re-ceived a complaint against DPasserting that the company madetelephone calls falsely threaten-ing arrest and harassing familymembers regarding a debt al-legedly owed by a consumer.
After looking into the com-plaint, the Attorney General's Of-fice discovered the company did
not have a license to collect debtsin West Virginia.
McGraw said his office's inves-tigation also revealed a pattern ofabusive collection methods byDP in which consumers were de-ceitfully threatened with arrestfor non-payment of fabricateddebts.
For example, in one case, aGrafton-area consumer was leadto believe that if she did not pay$3,000 to the company by the endof the day a warrant would be is-sued for her arrest.
DP even went as far as to con-
tact the consumer's mother-in-law and falsely state that repre-sentatives were waiting at theTaylor County courthouse for thearrest of her daughter-in-law, ac-cording to McGraw's office.
On top of that, the companyinflated the alleged amountowed, upping it to $8,000 afterspecifying it was $5,987.10 in anemail, the attorney general said.
In signing an assurance of dis-continuance with McGraw's of-fice, DP has agreed to close allWest Virginia accounts with azero balance, notify credit-re-
porting bureaus to delete refer-ences to the debts, refund allamounts it collected, and releaseany judgments obtained againstthe state's consumers.
The agreement secures exactly$1,714,553 in refunds and can-celled debts for 124 West Virgini-ans, according to the AttorneyGeneral's Office.
"In these difficult economictimes, it is especially heinous forcompanies to bully and exploit fi-nancially strapped consumerswith false threats and phonydebts," McGraw said.

By GOV. EARL RAY TOMBLINI would like to extend my
heartfelt thanks to all West Vir-ginians, and all our friends fromnear and far, who are going aboveand beyond the call of duty tohelp our state through a difficultand unprecedented time.
On Friday evening, severestorms ripped through theMountain State, leaving a record688,000 homes and businesseswithout power.
Within hours, we declared astatewide state of emergency anddevoted all state resources tobegin restoring power, cleaningup, and taking care of the manyWest Virginians affected.
I worked with our state emer-gency management officialsthrough the night to make surefederal assistance would be onthe way by daybreak.
Since then, we've been out incommunities meeting with localfirst responders and outageshave been cut in half.
I've seen firsthand the storm'stremendous impact and metwith folks struggling to meettheir needs with no electricity formiles in every direction.
Our utility companies andemergency management officialsare doing everything possible toget us back on our feet again.
All major roads are now open,
and we are on our way to gettingthe lights back on.
The entire state has pulled to-gether to weather this storm.Our National Guard and hun-dreds of community groups aregoing door-to-door to check onthose without power.
Businesses are opening theirdoors and passing out food,water and ice.
Local organizations are host-ing cooling stations and shelters.Thousands of people have comefrom other states to pitch in.Even with this remarkable effort,it will take time to recover fromthe violent storms. Please staycalm and be patient. We have a
lot of work left to do, but we willget through this together.
As I've surveyed the damage,I've met with many folks who arewithout power and have damageto their homes.
The most memorable thingabout these visits is the compas-sion of our people.
At every single stop, I'vewatched folks generously work-ing to help others despite theirown hardships.
People who have seen theirown homes severely damaged oreven destroyed are nonethelesshelping others clean up.
Jimmy Gianato, our state Di-rector of Homeland Security and
Emergency Management, re-ceived a call late Friday eveningtelling him his home had beenstruck by lightning and burned tothe ground.
Jimmy hasn't skipped a beat:he has been working around theclock to oversee the state's recov-ery efforts. And he isn't the onlyone; I have met thousands ofothers who are setting aside theirpersonal struggles to help others.
Our state is truly blessed withsome of the most compassionateand resilient folks in the world,and I'm honored to be your gov-ernor.
Thanks to each and every oneof you.
