Scott County iced in and powerless

If you're in Scott County today, you might be in a world of hurt (and probably not reading this, because you likely don't have power). Out of the counties we cover, Scott was easily the hardest hit by the ice storm.

We have a reporter and photographer touring the county today and talking to people who are stuck in the cold. So far they've visited Oran and Chaffee on their way to Sikeston.

Click here to read what they've found so far, and check seMissourian.com later for more on this story.

Further north, Cape Girardeau County government is offering help to people stranded out in the county.

These stories and more storm coverage are available right now at seMissourian.com, along with an extensive photo gallery with images from today.
