Apparently this was a bigger son of a female dog than I had thought. The schools all the way up here on Ohio's Erie coast were closed this morning. Anyone have news from anywhere between Ohio and Texas? I've only seen stuff from here and there.
-
Yea.
I live in the lorain/cleveland area of Ohio.
Was outside yesterday and the wind's started to pick up really bad. Seen trees fall on top of houses and cars.
We had no power for the whole night. Intense.

was this summer hot in south east usa?

Path of Destruction?
Welcome to my world!
Fortunately the house is fine. Lots of felled trees, no power ( on generator) no phone or cell ( I'm on satellite internet now for the next 30 minutes ). We just got water on. We have propane so we have hot water and a stove that works.
Extimates on power restoration are 2 to 4 weeks minimum.
When Ike's eye passed overhead at 7:30 AM I was out with the chainsaw cutting trees that posed issues with my house and fence.

Glad to hear nothing was damaged too badly on your end, Knack. 2 to 4 weeks for power, though... Did a power plant get damaged or something near you? We had alot of the main power lines and some small power station thing that went down in March and we didn't have electricity for three days, something pretty major must have happened to your stuff.
There wasn't a hurricane or something, was there? :P

School was canceled in Ohio? Good grief you kiddos are spoiled.
-
um there were schools closed in Michigan today, but unfortunatley it wasn't mine...

i am in CAP wich means i will be sent out to help the rescue teams in 2 days on ike
-
i was lucky - our power went out around 3:40 pm saturday, and came back on at 11:30 that night.
we had a BIG limb fall out of one of our trees, and onto the power line running from the pole to our neighbor's house. so they still have no power at this point.
btw, the cable internet here is fine, and our phone service never went out (neither landline nor cell).
ike sure didn't fizzle out as quickly as i thought it would tho.

Apparently the school had no power, and our entire town had has contaminated water because of something that happened at the treatment plant. I don't think the superintendant just felt like giving them the day off...
-
The outside of my house in Houston looks like an Iraqi War zone. Fortunately, we somehow have had our electricity and water restored already.
-
we got quite a bit of rain the last 2 days. i'm not sure if it was due to Ike or not. but the drop in temperature was very nice. :D
-

Gas stations are starting to open up a bit with a little wait.
Mrs. KnacK is working in College Station so she's fine there.
Mother-in-law jsut got power this morning so she's happy.
Still looks to be 3 weeks out for power restoration.
/me is very thankful of the cool weather. When Rita hit, we were in the 90's/100's.
