I live in Ohio and Ike just knocked out 250,000 people's power last night, it might be seven days before we get it back. What's up with that? You dudes who live in Texas or Florida assume the risk of this kind of thing...but we're not safe in landlocked freaking Ohio?

Yeah, what the hellt? I was downtown when it started, and had to drive home dodging trees and construction barrels flying all over the place. It actually was kinda fun. Drove around the 'hood after it had calmed down a bit to survey the damage. Man, some of the older neighborhoods got schooled. My 'hood is pretty new, so our trees aren't big enough to do any real damage if/when they blow down. I escaped with a snapped-in-half trellis, and only lost power for about a 1 second.
We had hurricane force gusts, in Ohio. OHIO! WTF?

We were down for about 24 hours, just came on about an hour ago. I'll take it; they say some people in the county may have to wait 7 days. I think if I were looking at that kind of time, we'd be packing up the car and going somewhere for a few days. About 2 hours of picking up branches and sticks from the yard, but only one big branch from the big maple in the back, other than that just small stuff.
