In Ohio we don't name our storms, but real humdinngers get associated with a year. Last night we had the nastiest wind storm I've ever seen anywhere, with 75 mile/hour sustained winds. No one got hurt that I've heard (if they did it was abject stupidity, who goes out in a thing like that?) but the damage from downed trees is extensive. We have a 100 year old maple on our street that was snapped in two; part of my neighbor's maple fell on her front porch (serves her right, last big destructive storm part of that $@&$@!! thing fell on my truck!). We escaped major damage, although the yard is a real mess and we're still without power at home and may be for some time. My camera is busted, but I did get some video that I'll try and post later. Not much compared to those hurricanes, but a big deal to us. If this is what a hurricane is like, what would posses someone to stick it out? I own nothing worth subjecting myself to forces that powerful.
