Evacuations begin in Texas ahead of Hurricane Ike

Weird Weather update from SW Ohio

Hurricane force winds here in SW Ohio. I'm on a generator for a little bit as over 800,000 people are without power in the Greater Cincinnati area alone.We are being told 3-7 days before restoration.   It looks like a tornado went through. There were  sustained winds at 50 miles an hr.  and at times reached up 84 miles an hr.This went on for at least 5 hours. I have several large trees down as do most other folks. We were on the road and the car we were driving ,which is very streamlined compared to most other vehicles, was being blown across the road. It took a very long time to get home due to downed trees and power lines and debris. One of our barns had it's doors blown off. The gas pumps aren't working because there is no electric and most businesses ,schools and grocery stores are closed.

The electric company has called back crews sent to the Gulf to assist there and we have crews coming in from other states to help out.

The good news is people are being civil and neighborly.:) Also it is a blessing we didn't have the rain with these winds. Just wind and it cooled down considerably so no need for air conditioners qand fans.

DT I hope you're feeling better soon. I have the same.Honestly I think it is chemtrail related as I make note of heavy spewing and what happens after.

I heard about Ohio losing power. The forum server is in Ohio and they are running on a generator too. I hope you and the rest of the people in Ohio get it restored soon. :)

Thanks Richard for your kind thoughts and words. I was told we would get our power restored by Satuday or Sunday maybe Monday. Gasoline seems to be an issue now . The lines can be hours long. My oldest sons generator blew up and there aren't any to be had in the stores but his place of employment loaned one of theirs as he has 2 babies at home. My second son had a huge hickory tree come down on his house and has a gaping hole in the roof. His buddies and neighbors will be repairing it soon. We consider ourselves lucky as some folks are without  water as well. As I mentioned before thus far, for the most part, people are being considerate and cooperative. One of the big issues though is because the traffic signals aren't working you are required to treat each intersection as a 4 way. People on cell phones ,it seems, are forgetting this and soaring right thru causing accidents.

The clean up on our property will most likely go well into next spring. I was amazed that the national news didn't cover the extent of the damage here as it is unprecedented. I realize however that Galveston is bascally destroyed . That's too bad . I liked Galveston and my prayers go out for those folks.

BTW.... We are now down to 550,00 people without power in the Greater Cincy area.

In the area in which I live  received the the strongest winds of 84 miles an hour with 50- 60 mi per hr. sustained. This is very strange because I'm in a valley and the folks on the hill didn't get near as much damage. The neighbors who were home at the time said it seemed to follow the rivers. Go figure.

Thanks for the wishes MN. I am feeling a whole lot better, finally. I do think this - whatever it was - was a bit strange. It seemed to come on overnight and then got really bad really fast. Luckily I had some antibiotics at home and I started taking them right away. I am almost back to normal now.

Another funny thing that happened at about just the same time - although it doesn't really belong in this thread. Ah heck, I'll tell it here anyhow. This happened on the night of September 11 - how's that for coinky-dink? I was sitting on the couch doing my crochet and Richard was in his chair on the net. Suddenly we heard this weird loud BEEP sound coming from my purse. I went to my purse and saw that my cell phone was lit up. Now you have to understand that I never turn my cell phone on unless I am traveling, I keep it in a separate pocket in my purse, physically turned off. Also, I had just charged up my phone, so it was fully charged. Well, when I looked at my phone, it had somehow turned itself on, plus it gave me a messsage saying that I had done an unsafe card removal! Then, just like that, the whole battery just drained on me - completely empty. Now that really freaked me out. Strange happenings indeed.

MN, I’m sorry to hear about everything you’re going through. I can imagine how hard it is. My forum host just reported they got their power restored, so I’m hoping that means that you’ll be getting yours restored soon too. I’m surprised they haven’t shown Ohio on the news. I didn’t even know about it until the forum host reported Ohio lost power. I’m amazed how much power Ike had. I don’t recall a hurricane that did more damage than this one.

Richard, It looks like a hurricane went through here. I've been through 3 tornadoes and they are over in a minute  and cut a relatively small path with varying damage. This went on for at least 6-7 hours over hundreds of miles. It's crazy and unprecedented. Galveston suffered a devasting hurricane in 1900 and it is said that the very same thing happened to the Greater Cincinnati are then as well . Also reportedly there were several deaths at that time on the Great Lakes due to large ships sinking etc.

That being said some psychics saw a wall of manufactured energy with this hurricane so who knows?!

We are doing okay except from a good workout cleaning up and chainsawing etc.:)

Two of my kids have power now and many more were restored in the area . I think it is being said that it's down to 350,000 without power now. People are going back to work and that  helps alieviate tensions somewhat.

I haven't been able to glean much info about northern Ohio or eastern Ohio. I do know Louisville and Owensboro Ky. got hit really hard .....as usual.
