Hurricane hits Cincinnati
Incase you haven’t heard, there were winds close to 80mph were recorded in the Cincinnati area on Sunday. The reminants of Hurricane Ike, combined with a cold front to cause crazy winds to come through the area on Sunday afternoon. We lost a tree in our front yard, and many shingles off of our roof of the house, but otherwise not that bad. During some of the storm I was out in the yard putting things away, and saw white caps on our swimming pool. Thats just nuts.
Our power went out Sunday afternoon, but it came back on around 3am Monday morning, so we were definately one of the lucky ones. Most of our friends in Oxford didn’t have power, so they came over to our house on Monday, to charge laptops, cell phones, etc. Whatever they needed to keep going. Our big freezer in the garage is now full with food from people, who still have no power. So it was an awesome blessing to be able to serve our friends.
Here are a few pictures, from our house
Here are a few pictures from Rob & Annie’s house of the huge tree that fell in their front yard.
