Sounds pretty scary, actually. (Don't want to be a prick but, when you're writing to a Canadian board, you shouldn't assume that we all know the abbreviaitons for the states e.g.: TX I'm guessing is Texas (only three more letters to actually spell the whole thing) and OH is perhaps Ohio (just two more keystrokes and you're all the way home)? I know...I'm porbably a "too-sensitive-pussy-Canadian", but there you go. I try to never assume that people know any kind of jargon or abbreviations unless you're only writing to people in your trade/business, etc. for example, unless I'm chatting in print with other realtors in Toronto, I don't assume that everyone will know what FAG or ELF's or HWT, etc. are in a listing information sheet, so I purposely try to literally spell it out for those that do not know...if there are people reading it who do know, still no problem for them, everyone's happy and not puzzled. (Wow, this is a really crazy little rant from a quite normal posting on here...sorry)
 
BIG WIND in OH.. I thought uphisbottom was referring to himself there.

Don't have the courage to show your face in the Political forum today huh?
 
Yes I was reading about this on the weather network last night it hit the Toronto area at around 11 pm and from there into Quebec. This is wind from Hurricane Ike.
 
We had the big blow in Buffalo, too.
