Hurricane Ike?

This afternoon we received the remaining winds from the eye of hurricane Ike. Never in my life do I remember getting this much from a hurricane that has traveled clear across the country. Usually by the time they get to us, we just get a few sprinkles. We might get a thunderstorm or two.

Never anything like this:



The howl of the wind sounded just like a freight train. I have never heard the wind sound like that.

This evening we drove around the community to survey the damage. There are a lot of limbs down. There even are a few trees that came down.

It makes you realize how fortunate we are that we don't get the full force of these storms.

Maybe Ohio's not so bad after all.
