Ike remnants... attack the midwest

I lost power for 3 days, my neighborhood got trashed, got extensive roof damage, and most of my city is without power..

yeahhhhhhhhh

 

Come on that didn't even compare to people here in Houston/Galveston. =/ WE are still without power.

 

[overreact]I got a piece of Ike also, it blew my hair to the other side![/overreact]

Ehhh...everybody's allowed to start a crappy thread once in awhile...

 

Lord, this is going to turn into one of those "our traffic is worse than your traffic" threads...

*EDIT* : Which reminds me of the time a friend from Kentucky griped about her job changing and how she would have to drive for a whopping 20 minutes to get to work instead of the usual 5. I cried.

 

Yeah, this was a massive storm, particularly due to its size and broad windfield as well as the obvious surge. That leads to it more widespread damage at landfall, and also slower weakening once inland.

If nothing else, I really hope people stop making such a big deal out of "OMG Cat 2/Cat 3/Cat 4!!!" after this. A Cat 2 like this one is much, much scarier than a tightly wrapped Cat 4.

 

Well my commute to work in Dallas is now only 15-20 mins. Revenge is sweet.

 

Let's save our scorn for that dork astros148. I hope his power's out for a month.

"LULZ."

 

I'm in Ohio and my power is still out since sunday evening

 

and I was playing golf when the winds were blowing at 50 - 60mph
Felt like I was playing in the British Open

 

Cincinnati had over 1 million customers without power last night due to Ike. Unreal.

 

and how'd you become a rockets fan???

what did i miss here?

 

look at the name

 

right on, from kentucky.... duh.

blame it on the MNF celebration.

 

I posted this in the other thread:

If it makes you feel any better, my brother who lives in Columbus, Ohio said Ike knocked out the power in his apartment and surrounding areas, and they aren't supposed to get the power back for a full week.

Apparently, the Ohio utility workers have all left to help over in the South, thus it will take them extra time to get the power back in their own area.

I didn't even know Ike traveled that far north. It was one hell of an angry storm.

 

Someone said Ike strengthened to a Cat 5 hurricane and slammed into Wall Street...heh.

The sheer amount of destruction unleashed by this storm is unreal.

 

I had a tree hit my house and water got inside. my whole fence is gone and I haven't had electricity since saturday. my stupid sprint phone is finally not roaming so I can finally go on the internet and post this. I hate you IKE!
