We had some fairly minor things but still big for us. A few shingles blew off the roof, we lost maybe 6-8 pieces of our siding and our large silver maples got a divine pruningHubby cut up and hauled away 5 truckloads of the debris when we were done. Thankfully, none of them hit any people or property. A few could have done some big damage and we were outside some of the time talking to neighbors and gathering up each other's siding and shingles, etc. Then the wind really showed us the power and we all scurried back inside. The power was out for about 24 hours for us but neighbors went 5 days and I think there may be a few still in the dark this morning. I heard that electric trucks arrived in Ohio from Wisconsin to help get us all back on the grid.
Funny thing also - we had no cell or local landline telephone service for the first 24 hours. But I could call my dad and daughter in TEXASGo figure? We had to laugh that we had been praying for Texans during Ike and then Ike came up north and tried to scare us
