Cincinnati, Ohio, in the Southwestern tip of Ohio was HARD hit by the winds from Ike. 90% of the Duke Energy customers are without power. Traffic lights are out, roofs and siding gone off houses, and general hurricane damage. This is the worst wind damage this city has ever seen.
I am blessed by the fact that our development has all underground wires and young trees. Older areas have lost many of their trees and of course where they fall, causes more destruction. A woman sitting at her desk, inside her house, was killed when a tree fell on her house. Tree service workers had to cut up the tree to get to her.
This has been the worst wind I have seen in my 74 years. I am fine! But others are not. Pray for those who have lost so much. We had a hurricane and not a drop of water. It is totally unbelievable.
Thanks for your concern and prayers...for all the others.
