Wow! What a Storm!

OU Inn tree after June 29 storm!

At approximately 6pm on Friday June 29, 2012 a very large storm front crossed almost all of Ohio. Several of us were still at the office working late when the storm hit. Power was knocked out in our city and across the state. Estimates of 633,000 people were affected. Their estimate is 5-7 days for power to be restored! Reports are the winds from this storm were in the 80-85 MPH range and worse than hurricane Ike in 2008. There are some large trees completely uprooted and blown down by the storm!

Staff remained at the office to ensure servers stayed up during the storm outage. At one point in time we had 6 staff members and 10 family members here! Myself and one of our friends left to go to Krogers, which was still open due to them having a generator, and got enough food to cook from our gas stove at home and brought dinner to the office. We feasted on Brats and home made spaghetti! Brandon remained all night to monitor the servers and power while the rest of us went home.

Today, Saturday, thankfully power is being restored already to our city and, as of this time, most of the power is up, including at our office. We want to thank the hard workers at AEP for restoring power to most of our city well before the time estimate. We are now hoping it stays up and other affected areas come up quickly as well!
