glad the convention was
last weekend and not this weekend was at Lake Loramie State Park for the Fall Fest this weekend, and today was the worst day possible, they had
+70mph winds today there and trees and branches was everywhere on the ground, just glad the convention wasn't this weekend the windstorm that
went thru on thursday night at the convention was bad enough, but if it we would have had the +70 mph winds at the convention it would have been a
terrialbe thing.
hope everyone one that lives on the western side of the state, faired the windstorm and didnt get hit to hard, I know greenville looks like a tornado
hit it. there are trees and powerlines down everywhere and the power was out for 6 hours. siding and shingles are everywherer also. the worst part of
the day was driving home from LL, and dodging sheet metal off some of the barns up north .
The wheels still turning but the hamsters dead. lol

Yes Woody!
It was a little windy around here today. Most areas had gusts in the 60 to 70 plus mile per hour range. Plenty of limbs- trees and building damage.I
can't remember ever having winds that high for that long. been a couple times in the 40-50 mph range but not 60 to 70 plus range. Just be glad
it wasn't January and snowing!!

Just got two generators wired in a few minutes ago, need to get another to get the walk in's running. Power outage is real spotty, it's
just partial grids........ so......... it sounds like we are low priority, we're hearing things like wednesday or thursday!

What Woody you don't care about us Central and Southern folk
We got hammered.Over 350,000 in central Ohio without power.Heard AEP sent alot of trucks down South to help out on the coast.Turned'em back
around today to get Columbus' power back on.
We were pretty lucky only a few trees down in my yard and wouldn't ya know it's the dang gone nieghbors trees that fell in our
yard
We were only with out power for 15hrs. though.

I lucked out. Lost 1 shingle off the house and a sheet or 2 off the barn but it went right to the plywood. Down the road a ways, parts of 3 corn
fields bit the dust. Musta been straight line winds maybe. I went to mow a couple yards down in Delaware and a majority of the town is without power.
This is the biggest week for a gas station that I mow because of the Little Brown Jug. They have been without power since 1:45 pm yesterday. They said
it may be as late as Friday before the electric comes back on. I think I spent more time picking up sticks than actual mowing time. I can only imagine
what a tornado would do!!

Sorry Pas, I didnt realize last night that the rest of the state got hit also. the news media said we was on the edge of the storm and the major storm
was in Indiana and Illinious. but after talking to friends all over the state today, I found it it went as far east as PA.

I was on my way back from Virginia and ran into that storm head on around Cambridge. Driving is fun with 75 MPH winds hitting you. I burned up half
a tank of gas just fighting the wind.

some power outages may take a week or more there saying . seen lots of corn down , and i'd guess from the way some bean fields look , the beans
are either down or blown away. all the acorns on my oak trees are gone . most of my gutters are either ripped loose or torn off , rail on both ends of
porch broken , siding on garage ripped off and ripped loose , about half the soffits on the house are damaged . roofs look fine . during some of the
worst gusts , my jack russell was howling at the wind like he does when a car alarm goes off . my power only went off and on a few times , most of
the town was out for atleast 24 hours , some is still out. the humidity sunday at one point was so high i could hardly breathe , felt like being on
hilton head island in july at 103 degrees .

Sorry to hear about that Minker and you others too. My house faired had no problems, but I lost a couple of trees out back (2' dia oaks and a
hickory down). A buddy of mine still doesn't have power, he's running off of a generator.
Duke energy had over 600,000 of their 800,000 customers without power in Cincinnati on Monday. This morning they were down to 300,000. Everyone seems
to be coming together though.
Keep in mind, houses, cars and trees can be replaced. You all are still around and that's what is important.
