Yeah. Lost some shingles on the house. Otherwise just lots of wind and rain and a half hour spent in the basement waiting for the storm to pass.

We spent about 30 minutes in the basement, rain, high winds 65+ mph, power flickered on and off a few times and a reported twister a few miles south of here. Central Ohio weather at its finest. Similar to the events of Nov 1st. Had another spin up twister on the ground to the south even closer than tonight's.

I hope everyone else is well and safe!

Watch out Northeast; it's headed your way next.

Gus, JH, Mirth, etc - let us know how you're doing tonight

Will do.

EDIT: Looks like it's mostly past now, just some rain and a bit o' wind. It should be over Mirth's place atm and headed for 40Cent and Migs.

Up here in NW Ohio we had tornado warnings in counties all around us but not in my county.  We didn't even get hit with the bad winds.   Lots of school delays and closures this morning.

Toledo new reporting Bowling Green had a wind gust of 85 mph.

It wasn't bad here either. Wind and some heavy downpours that passed through pretty quickly. Nothing like what hit the Midwest. We had sunny break a few minutes ago.

Yeah at around 4:00 this morning it got breezy with some rain but other than that, no big deal.

Glad to hear everyone's okay so far.  The weather up here is cold but clear.

Good. Last night I noticed a radar return showing a suspected tornado in far western NY and was worried. Glad to hear it lost some steam heading east.

The rain has started.  Looks like the high winds and heavy rains are about 2-3 hours out.  Fairly tame compared to what LB et al faced yesterday.

Meh. There was worse south of us. It's a pain to get the roof fixed, but don't worry about us.

Was there a confirmed tornado in western NY? I haven't read about one.

I don't know that it was confirmed. There was a red triangle icon somewhere around the Angola area IIRC on Intellicast.com using their wx radar layer: http://www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMap.aspx

Looks like that is about as far west NY as you can get without taking a swim.
