    Did FE send all their crews to Florida to help with Debby? Maybe we need to recall them.

    Trees need to be topped. Lack of maintenance is a cause of a lot of this damage.

    Owners fault for not trimming their trees and leaving cars outside. They will learn in hope.
  • I was so confused when we lost power because there is barely anything going on outside it was just cloudy

    I live in Houston, TX. In July a hurricane level 1 blew through quickly. Afterwards 2.5. MILLION people lost electricity. Some people were without electricity for 2 weeks. My electricity was out for 5 days. I live in an apartment so I do not have a generator. It was unbearable.

    As you can see... the trees are apparently the culprits. Sure, they are beautiful on sunny days... but with the weather we've been having, you don't want a tree crashing into your home, your car, blocking the driveway or street, going over power lines taking them out. Cull. You don't want to be out of power for seven to ten days, or have to deal with a hole in your roof because of a branch. It's not worth the risk.

    A Cleveland area tornado is almost unheard of. Cincinnati. An article dated July 1 put Ohio at 63 tornadoes. In 2023 we had 60, prior to that the record was in 1992 for 62 tornadoes. We had warning again in SW Ohio I think the first Monday of August 2024, but nothing touched down. In April here were 8 in one night just here in SW Ohio. In May I heard we were ranked #5 in states with the most tornadoes. We've turned into tornado alley.
