The remenants of Ike came crashing into Ohio Sunday and the effects for many will be felt for several more days. High winds (40-75 mph) for a six hour time period disruptd the lives of many. Thankfully the loss of life was very low, the impact is relatively high. Just in the Miami Valley (Dayton and expanded surroundings)>200,000 are without electricity, and it's reported without power 2,000,000 within Ohio itself. The talk remamins it will be towards the end of the week before most is restored.

I felt blessed to have our power restored at 24 hours. Water levels are low too wit the loss of power for the stations.
