Aftermath of Hurricane Ike Hits Northern KY, Cincinnati Ohio Wind Gusts Up To 75MPH Devastates And Lasts For Four Hours. Homes destroyed, roofs blown off, cars smashed by trees, you name it. People without electricity for days over 600,000 people no electric, imagine that folks! This is/was unreal. Never in my life have I seen do much wind and debris flying for literally hours. I saw it knock FLYING BIRDS to the ground! There were deaths, fires, State Deemed Emergency by Governor. We are NOT by an ocean, we are no where near anything like that and this thing swooped in and "tore up jack" unreal! Mistress Reba~
