last friday 6/29/12 , Ohio and several other U.S. states were hit with a very nasty storm that leveled much of every state it hit. over 3 million w/o power , structural damage to infrastructure and mass damage to mother nature , people dead , and all of this on top of the hottest heatwave for this time of year ever. this thunder storm was basically a hurricane on the mainland , it had straightline winds of up to 85+ MPH. i was on my porch and saw it rip through my neighborhood and let me tell you it was something straight out of a movie - never will be able to forget it or the damage it caused right before my eyes. 100 year old trees over 100 feet tall were ripped out of the ground and slammed into the ground like ragdolls. so much property damage from trees slamming into cars , houses , even people. electrical fires caused by downed lines were common , as well as from the excessive heat. one woman here in Ohio was even crushed under a barn that collapsed on top of her from the winds , and so many personal and public losses that it will be a record destruction in the dozens of billions of dollars - and this is just for Ohio ! no telling how much damage in total they is from all the other states that were hit as well. me and 990,000+ other Ohioans were forced to throw out all our food from are refrigerators and suffer through 95+ degree days without A.C. on the eve of our 4th of july celebrations :*(
just got power back on 7/03 , was out for basically 5 days o_O my mom who is only 12 minutes drive from me won't get power back until sunday at the earliest....
rascal's area of Columbus (suffered alot of damage and with over 200k+ w/o power
Obama declared Ohio and several other states were national emergencies and ordered crews to help from as far as away as Texas. some people won't even get power back for a whole more week even...one big gigantic mess
to all the N3O'ers here who went through this like Rascal , Murdilator, and myself - my prayers to you and your families - i hope you made it through it unharmed and hopefully cooled and hydrated. was trully something you people would have to see to believe to understand what just happened in the wake of a freak 10 minute storm that could cause so much damage in so little time.
