Wind Storm 2008

Just like a lot of other people in Ohio and PA we were affected by a severe wind storm from the remnants of Hurricane Ike. They said the highest gust around here was 79mph. We lost our power about 8pm on Sunday night. Around 12:30am Dan looked outside and saw our neighbor on his roof trying to cover up lost shingles. He ran over there to help him and I followed not far behind. I stayed over with his wife while Dan and Melvin checked around our house. The pictures are what they saw. We got our power back about 11:00am Monday and were very thankful. With the help of our great neighbors were able to get everything repaired and cleaned up.
