your damage from ike?

[joycenalex]

as the remains of hurricane ike passed over ohio last sunday afternoon, we lost power; it came back on last night. my section of the hospital was closed for 2 days because we didn't have electricity, i was sent home on monday and to another site on tuesday and wednesday. i had to throw out nearly $200 worth of food, spent almost 8 hours removing and tying up branches, helping the neighbors take pictures for insurance, since the 50 foot silver maple in their back yard split in half and crushed the other neighbors back porch. my house is okay, a small portion of my new gutters was pulled out, but will be repaired this weekend. i have had my equally large trees thinned, and that money was well spent looking at their damage.
has anyone else had damage from the remains of ike as it passed over? it's not often that ohio has hurricane damage

Sorry to hear you lost all that food, but I am glad to hear that your house wasn't damaged.

I noticed that chocolatepuppy hasn't been on since Sunday evening. The thought had occurred to me that she lost power or internet service as a result of Ike.

A few dozen shingles came off the roof. House across street got a tree on it's roof (no extensive damage, everyone is ok). Neighbors gathered outside during the wind storm to help try to clean up the tree. They got hard part done within 3 days then experts came yesterday and finished the job. Power was only out 3 hrs here. In some areas 3 days.

Nothing up here but loads of rain. We were lucky by the sound of it. I still feel sorry for those who had the brunt of it.

I lost power 8 times before it came back on for good. Large tree branches came down; I had them cut up and removed. Some people in N. Canton still don't have power. I'll be getting an estimate tomorrow to see about taking down the tree that always gives me problems whenever there are high winds.

It ended up missing us, really, here in Dallas. It went to the east. That Saturday, it rained all day, but it was a nice gentle soaking rain. The winds were not anywhere what they had predicted, either.
