Ike - What a storm for Ohio
Date: Mon, 09/15/2008 - 08:49
I'm from the Columbus, Ohio area and we even got Ike bad. It seems like a snow day here with school and work. I believe all the schools are shut down today from it. We had 75mph winds for a few hours here. A lot of people have lost power and because the electric company sent people to Texas they are saying we may not have power for a week. Wow. Don't think I ever got to experience 75mph winds before. I was afraid a tree was going to fall on my car.

Ryan, my husband and I went to Columbus yesterday and got caught in the middle of it also. We were eating at Texas Roadhouse when the power went out. I was so scared when we were driving home because all of the lights were out and traffic was very heavy, not to mention the wind blowing trees and limbs around. Here in my town in northwest Ohio we got it pretty bad too, about 3000 still out of power today. Not as many as in Columbus but it is a lot for our town.
