Crazy Sunday weather in Ohio! What a wild Sunday we had in Ohio! We had winds up to 75mph, power was knocked out for about 90% of all residents in Cincinnati and three people killed by falling trees! In our neighborhood we have alot of houses with roof, gutter and siding damage. One house had a tree fall on it! Thank goodness, we were lucky and only had damage to tree limbs and nothing major. I can imagine how terrifying it must have been for people in Texas with the hurricane, because the aftermath with the winds here was scary enough! Our power came back on after 4 hours, but for some it could take up to 3-4 days. Most of the schools are closed today and quite a few roads are closed! Our babies were a nervous wreck yesterday! The winds never let up for about 5-6 hrs. :eek: I hope everyone in Texas and everywhere else is doing ok!! |
wow...that must have been scarey! Especially for your furbabies. I know what you mean...i cant imagine going through the full force storm like texas has. I hope i never have to experience it. Glad you are all okay!:) |
Reese1 same here up in Cleveland...rain and high winds like you guys had..the remnants of Ike.:eek: Izzy goes outside potty and I had to watch her carefully so she didn't get blown over.:eek: We were lucky we hav electricity but the people across from us and surrounding areas lost theirs at 6pm last night and as of 6:36am this morning still no power. Our side of the street is on a different power grid. It's finally calm with the wind at 18 miles now.:rolleyes: Man I was worried at 50-75 mile winds and I don't know how our YT peeps that get hurricanes do it.:confused: |

We had to put a leash on Camden who goes potty outside, I wasn't taking any chances! Sounds like you were about 5hrs behind Cincinnati getting it! The winds are calm here now, but there are still hundreds of thousands of people without power and they are still saying days! I'm at my office now and we are operating on generators! I'm glad you have power and are ok! |

It's so scary isnt it ? ....3 people killed :(:(...that's awful .....I heard the storm was causing more damage but didn't know the winds were that strong And you're so right - it IS terrifying. I still can't believe how bad this hurricane was even though we could SEE how huge it was. I hope we don't see a bad hurricane like this for a long time to come. My whole city is still without power. I don't even know how I got so lucky cause I'm right in the middle of the grid that has NOTHING (which is most all of Houston) I'm glad you're ok. |
It was very windy here too yesterday. I dont think we had anyone lose power though |
Same here yesterday, trees and power lines down everywhere, loss of power, wind like I couldn't believe. Nothing like my brother got down in LA but enough to make me know I'll never move anywhere that has hurricanes! Here's a video I shot yesterday here at our house. |
If you had your volume up, sorry bout the yellin. |
Oh we had it too.. it was crazy! No rain here.. just WIND from about 7-10pm. Trees and limbs down everywhere. Schools are cancelled today. No power till 4am last night. Our cable is still out.. I know what I'll be doing today picking up limbs out of the yard. |

Now they are saying four people have died. What's really tragic, two of those who died were on motocycles and they were riding in a fundraiser event to raise money for military families in Iraq! They were killed in a state park when a tree fell on them. So awful. :( From Louisville to Cincinnati, they are now saying over a million without power. In some places they are now saying it could be a week before it's restored. I lived in Florida in high school and we weathered a few hurricanes and I do remember them. Usually in Ohio, we are dealing with tornadoes which are terrifying as well! |

I've lived in hurricane areas and tornado and I don't like either one! |

The tough thing is, our energy company had sent alot of volunteer crews to Texas to help with the hurricane and now they are calling them back to help restore power here! |
I know I am glad it didnt get too bad in our area. I am sorry it did in yours. That wind was different though and you could sure tell it was hurricane wind. We did have a downed power line in our neighbrhood. |
windy sunday we are in ne ohio close to pa.... and the wind was strong for like 4-6 hours.. but we got the humidity for 3 days.. we only felt the edge of it with no rain.. trees down limbs down and leaves everywhere.. we were the lucky ones this time..there is a huge limb in my yard.. but it fell in a good spot.. IKE was a monster storm.. so sorry for those who lost so much.. the worst is the flooding all over the place... i hope they have flood insurance:animal-pa |

We had the same craziness here in Pittsburgh I have tree branches in my back yard and the people across the street had one of their big trees uprooted. There is still power outages and trees down all over the place. Carlos wanted to go outside with us but I had to tell him that he would end up like toto in the Wizard of Oz.:D |

Still 500,000+ without power here in Cincinnati as of this afternoon! They are bringing in additional crews from North Carolina to help. They are hoping to more power turned on within 24-48 hours from now, but some will take until the weekend! :eek: |
I just left a thread . Ill copy and paste it here. I have never been in a hurricane before But man this was enough for me. Lots of people thought we was having a hurricane thats how strong the winds were here. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/off...ml#post2239593 |

I just saw on the news that you all got hit really hard - this hurricane traveled a long way :( I can't believe it went all the way to Ohio - |

At times I thought part of our house was going to blow away, it was so loud and unlike a tornado (that we are more used to having in the mid-west) that lasts for minutes, it just went on for hours and hours! |

Isn't it just so strange how far a storm can travel! I've just never known Ohio to experience anything quite like this! Most of the schools will be closed tomorrow and maybe longer. Tons of businesses are closed, gas stations. So many street lights are out and I'm sure there is quite an increase in traffic accidents with people not stopping! Ice is getting harder to find at the stores with everyone trying to save food from their fridge and freezers! The weird thing is my county had the highest wind gusts, but we have our power back. I don't have one other friend, family member or co-worker who has power at all! |
:(:(:( I hear you ...I'm the only one too except for one friend that has power - it's around 1.7 million here without. It makes you feel guilty doesn't it ? it's just spooky seeing everything closed. The only time you see it like this is Christmas Day and this is so NOT Christmas :( Good luck to you guys in Ohio ...heck - good luck everywhere - I hope this country doesn't see another disaster for a long long time. |
1 Attachment(s) It was crazy yesterday! I cannot believe how hard the wind could blow and not have rain. Our power was off for 24 hours. We have trees down and neighbor's roof blew off. (See picture) Anyway, hope everyone is okay. |
We got our Power back on. I thought it would take days. YAY!!! Im so happy to have it back. it was going on and off awhile ago. but now it seems to be back for good. I hope. My daughter said I could use her computer , so thats what i'm going to do until I get mine replaced. Man that sux that I lost it. I paid alot of money for that one. This is the 2nd time I have lost a computer because of power outage. even having a surge protecter did not help. Oh well Im back. DH out side picking up the yard. what a mess. we have to have the whole back side of our house fixed. and a few places in the front. and my poor trees. But we are all safe, thats all that matters work places and schools are still closed. The streets and roads are a mess. trees fell on top peoples houses. We have 5 acres to clean up. its going to take a long time. |
