Cincinnati wind storm 2008 - Wind Storm in Cincinnati/Hebron KY

A small wind storm... nothing like what other's experienced, but it was freaky!

The remnants of Hurricane Ike brought wind, not rain to the Tri-State Sunday, causing widespread damage and power outages.

At one point about 90 percent of Duke Energy Corp.s 800,000 local customers were without power, according to WCPO-TV. Duke said it might take a week to get everyones lights back on. Power is on in downtown Cincinnati, however.

Winds of 55 miles per hour reportedly gusting over 70 mph toppled trees, tore siding from houses and spread debris widely over a three-to-four-hour period Sunday afternoon. Most schools closed on Monday.

Three people two in Oxford and one in Mount Healthy were killed by falling trees. Damage ranged from blown-off roofs and toppled chimneys, to fallen trees and snapped power lines.
