Buckeye sent me text with photos. No power for 300,000 in Ohio. Straight line winds hit them. Trees down and power poles too. Bad damage. Buckeyes' house OK so far. Lake house OK. No power there and lots of trees down there. Chuck has no power. Buckeye just sent me a text. New storm on the way with wind and hail. Prayers. (From cell phone)

Good sized line of storms with 2 tornado warnings so far. The latest just expired at 7:30. Gonna be a rough night in northern Ohio.

Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot! Big Smile

I wish them all the best of luck. Power was out here too and we got a severe storm warning.

Most of Central Ohio got wacked twice by the violent winds. Out little Prairie Township just outside of Columbus was hit pretty hard. Lots of trees down but fortunately we didn't lose our power as about 600,000 other homes did throughout Ohio. Saw a bunch of powerline trucks from Oklahoma heading into town this morning.

Sorry to hear that Buckeye had some bad weather up in Ohio. We have had some flooding in northern Florida and tree damage as well. Also been having severe weather alerts almost daily down here in West Palm Beach FL, had some quarter inch a couple of weeks ago, only some vehicle paint damage.
