OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) -- Road crews in one western Kentucky county are continuing to clear debris 10 months after an ice storm devastated Kentucky in January.

Crews in Daviess County have cleared the worst areas but they're turning their attention to blockages in small waterways. The Messenger-Inquirer in Owensboro reports that Panther Creek had the worst blockages as the storm left 124 debris piles in county creeks.

Allen Isbill, a county road supervisor, says there were piles in Panther Creek 1,000 feet long and 20 feet high.

He says the job clearing all the county's creeks is "not even half done."

The county has $140,584 for debris removal from the creeks.
