Anyone get badly hit by that storm yesterday? Our lights flickered but stayed on. We had tornado sirens so we got all the cats down into the basement. We stayed upstairs to watch 🙂 A friend in Boardman (SW of Youngstown) lost power and was trapped by downed trees. A neighbor loaned her a generator to keep her fridge running, but she's over here now taking advantage of our power, wifi, and A/C so she can "work from home". Looks like a tornado touched down in her area, based on all the power poles and trees snapped off about 6' above ground...

ooo we got hit with that late on saturday, folks were shooting off fireworks and then it started raining and eveyrone cleared out, and then it really came down, with thunder so loud my kids kept waking up

damn, that's scary about your friends, i'm sorry to hear that

Oh, Saturday's storm was nothing compared to what hit our area on Sunday, around lunchtime!

This photo is from our friend in Boardman, showing the snapped off power poles. Around 11K people here still without power.
