Hurricane Ike wasn't content with messing up Texas, but decided Ohioans needed a taste of the fun! The winds were in the 70's mph in gusts. It was weird, all wind and no rain or lightning. We'd fortunately battened down the hatches and eaten dinner before the silver maple lost the large limb from the top of one of the trees in the front yard as seen in the picture above. It managed to land on the power lines going to our house and ripped the lines off the side of our house along with a little siding. There was a huge noise and a shower of sparks as it crashed to the ground. We are basically screwed for probably at least a week since thousands are without power and many line crews were sent to Texas. Fortunately our generator is working well, we have lots of propane for our camp stove and lots of candles and flashlights. We may be showering at the neighbors, however!
Hiram lost power too, so there weren't any classes today. George's plant was also without power.

Wow! A week without power sucks. Glad you were prepared with the generator.
