My fellow West Virginians - are you safe?

[Staph]

Here in Huntington, we're okay, but there are trees down all over, with roofs peeled off and billboards knocked down. Huntington Tristate Airport recorded a gust of 92 mph.

How are the rest of you?


(For the benefit of the non-West Virginians who might read this, we had a very nasty storm front pass through this morning. So far just a few minor injuries, but more than 140,000 households have lost power.)

1. Safe for now

I’m in the northern Panhandle region of WV……we had some huge downpours earlier and the Ohio River is way, way up! We didn’t have the high wind - - YET!! I’ve been looking at photos from the Huntington/Charleston area and it looks awful!! According to all the forecasts, the “main event(s)” are going to hit us later this evening and even overnight. Stay safe!!

3. I am from the other side of the river but as of now the Ohio River

is supposed to crest at 41.1' in Wheeling Thursday. That is 5.1' over flood stage.

4. Here in Cincinnati we're expecting a big blow-through within the next hour.

I should be safe, - but we'll see what nature presents to us...
(It was sunny & bright most of the day, now darkening early at 6:15, dark clouds and thunder making an appearance.)

7. My thoughts are with all of you, I'm in Northeastern New York and we also get hit with this damaging weather

And here near the mountains, fallen trees often bring down power lines as well. Stay safe, friends!
