Got our power back about an hour ago thanks to a crew from Miami, Florida.   This storm that came through on Friday was much more like a hurricane then any of the norms of the midwest.   66 out of 88 counties in Ohio have had enough damage to be declared disaster status. You knew it was likely bad when the power went out fully 15 minutes before any wind or storm arrived.

On the porch, Karen said, "What is that roar?" Around here you think tornado but this was different.   The wind strength gusted over 90 and had sustained speeds of 80. Trees simply snapped taking out homes and cars. The large trees on our block all had damage and two went down. I would expect this on the Gulf coast but Ohio?

We're just happy to get power back ahead of time and this area in general needs to feel incredibly lucky there was no loss of life.
