Default Re: Surviving the Storm

In Cincinnati we had steady winds about 40-70 mph with gusts up to 80 on Sunday. The tri-state area had about 600,000 people without power at the height of it all. It was directly related to the hurricane, but we had no rain, just the winds. My power was out from Sunday (14th)around 2:00pm and just came back on tonight (18th) around 9:00 pm. I had friend who was up in Chicago and was headed out of Ohare on Sunday, they braked on the runway, turned around and delayed the flight due to the high winds. Local news stated it was record winds...meaning it being steady, and without a storm or rains associated with it.
