Hurricane Ike in Columbus, Ohio

[kartracer58]

That was a fun day for cutting down trees to save your house with a hand saw sucked took 2+ hours to cut down one tree.

[VCube100]

[americansmark]

I remember this one and there was another that hit in July that year down towards Junction City and New Lexington. it was crazy being outside in it. My truck took some heavy hail damage during both of these.

[MrMoonpopm]

i remember this... >.< A huge tree destroyed my porch... :/

[JackWillowbee]

I remember driving down 5th avenue in Upper Arlington going home and seeing 3 trees fall. Then the next day on the way to work in Gahanna there was a huge tree that took out some graves right off of 62. Then, in Worthington their were streets blocked off for almost a week. Of course, Dublin got all the AEP people first. Haha. (Ohhhh Shit!) @ 2:06

[mmikeironhorse]

we got out of school for a week

[sexxyperv]

@mmikeironhorse  I so remember that. Good times, good times.

[everskie]

My mom had me go outside and OPEN THE WINDOWS! I was in Jamestown and the siding from the pharmcy across my street flew about half a foot to my right and smashed into the wall of my apt.

[ExpertAnimal]

man i love gahanna i used to live there. i live in california

[fungirl4299]

i live in ohio

[TartanPride08]

I went outside during this wind storm. Branches were everywhere. Ever since that windstorm, Dayton OH has gotten windier. Back on Aug 19 or so, we got a nasty t-storm with extremely heavy rain, lots of lightning and high winds.

[hackers34]

i live in ohio i lost my elciety for 2 weeks

[simSnowboarding3]

Tree fell on my house!

[osufan2]

wow... i live on the eastside of columbus and we really got it bad.. so many trees down around the neighborhood.. hope to never see this again

[weardvidmen345]

IN colun=mbus my house had a big tree fall on the front of our yard

[hhrider09]

In Patalaska, we didn't get hit too hard, couple shingles off and some tree branches.

But at my grandfather's in Newark, a tree was there from since I can remember... It got uprooted... The power at the resturaunt we we're eating at got it's power knocked out a couple times... Got our meal free though! :-)

[market4cash]

We got it bad too off of Kenny Rd.

[hazelwood55]

This was the strangest weather event in my whole (50 yr/old) life. The straight line winds were incredible. The roofers have been working full time eversince.

[freddydaddy69]

i was walking freddy, my dachshund, during this wind storm and witnessed my neighbor's grill blow through her fence while a piece of siding destroyed the windshield (ironic) of a pickup truck. sweet....

[NoOne3234]

I've never seen anything like it in the 20 years I've lived there. It really makes you appreciate electric lights. darkness is so boring.

[emac012345]

We lost our fence and all of out trees on our property.

[cwcodyw]

i remember that i almost got killed by a falling tree branch thankfuly i stopped and looked or i wouldnt be here typing this!

[JonasSucks4Life]

I remember this day! I loved it! It was soo fun to go outside and just feel that wind rushing by you!

[msteeleart]

It was cool wind except for the 100 foot trees that got uprooted. I think the trees around here are too tall to take the winds. I guess now we know why Florida has small trees and no shade.

[jkingsmill]

I'm glad you loved it and had soo much fun, You would have had a much different take on it if you had been in Texas where it made landfall.

[sexxyperv]

@JonasSucks4Life Yeah, and it was that stupid hurricane A MILLION MILES AWAY that caused the stupid blackout for a whole week!

[hamsterama]

I don't know about you, but as a result of the windstorm, a big section of our fence got torn right off, and we needed a new roof. It's funny that you don't need to live on the coast to be affected by hurricanes.

[msteeleart]

Many of the people around here had roof damage and lost trees.

[msteeleart]

Don't tell me to shut the fuck up, it is my page, you shut the fuck up and stay off my page if you don't like what I say. You raised a fine little man that likes to piss people off.

[msteeleart]

Why does a big bad marine need his mommy to come bail him out? The tree is falling on your fat head.

[USMarineCorpsRTSIII]

our power never even went out! hahahaha

[SangoSupahCharged]

they day that happened to me i got the power back on that same night

[disturbed0507]

i was at work!

[robynesman]

yeh my buddy lives there and he said he was outta power for like 5 days or something lol brutal eh

[sharnale]

How frightening to live through! I have relatives in the area, and they are all still without power after 4 days. One is very ill.

[msteeleart]

I am sorry your relatives had to be without power for 4 days.  I hope they got it back on soon after that. I guess there were 3500 people in columbus yesterday still without power. We are considering getting a generator.
