lost power for about 3 hours tonight. drove around my dad as he pointed out EVERY SINGLE FUCKING LIGHT THAT WAS ON. Like, seriously, every single fucking one. I want to shoot myself. Then he got pissed when I said I'd rather go home than go get a beer with him.

St Paris got creamed. Pretty much every tin shed in Western Champaign county is missing or was found wrapped around a telephone pole or tree.

All the power was out in St Paris, luckily a good amount of their employees live within a few miles of here.

We got power back quick. Thanks a bunch Ty B. Saw ya today bossing around some hard hat fella.

I shoulda' took some pictures right after. St Paris was a maze. Quite a few street were still closed a day later.

There's a cemetery over near me filled with broken/uprooted trees. There's a huge tree laying on the power lines and partially in the street. They simply blocked that lane off for the time being.

It's basically like that everywhere. I'd be impressed if I got power in the next 48 hours

I was in both Cambridge and Zanesville today, some pretty serious damage down there.
