Is it wrong that I sit here in golf shirt and shorts? ::running and ducking::::

 

My mom and sister were on the phone with me until the wee hours of the morning. They're in Ohio where ice ruled, then rain, then wind brought down tree limbs, whole trees and powerlines.

 

They both have power still, but it's interesting and not steady.

 

My mom's house was just missed by a huge limb from a 50 year old maple tree. She's really glad she had the tree men out trimming last spring! She said she could hear LARGE trees popping and crashing all night in the surrounding area.

 

My sister's car was missed by the same limb that pounded the side of her house. No real damage done to the house. They aren't sure if the precious snow blower is OK. Her house is under many maple trees planted in the late 40s! :unsure:

 

She heard a crashing noise around 8 last night that shook the house. It was a 40s era sycamore tree that started coming down in rather large bits! This was two houses down. It spent all night collapsing.

 

I have friends in the Dayton area with no power.

 

We had a 15 minute pathetic thunderstorm and half an inch of rain. I didn't even shut the windows for that one. My US Flag took a beating though. Time for a new one today.
