Hurricane Force Winds Strike Louisville Kentucky 9-14-2008 ~ 1 to 3 pm edt

Hurricane Ike leaves its mark on the Nations 16th largest city

Kentucky and Southern Indiana took a direct hit from hurricane Ike clashing with a cold front ,It lasted about three hours with gust of up to 91 mph and sustained winds of 65 mph + for over 1 hour , The worse winds were felt starting at around 2:00 pm .Was just like a fairly strong tropical storm that came rolling through town .The hours of 1 to 3 were rocking Not a drop of rain only raging winds . Tightest pressure gradients I have seen over land in a long time ,Pressure was noted my location form 30. mb , and they went down below 26 and were still falling before we lost communication .I have rode several Tropical Cyclones when I lived in the South East .and this had the feel of a Fairly strong topical storm minus the rains . So it kind became and for a short time Ike became a hurricane again over land while on it path to the North .The CDO Remnants was well over one hundred miles away and Ike's ghost and fury was felt by many in Southern Indiana and Kentucky . Not sure about upstream , But we got our A$$ES Whooped big time in the Louisville area

237 thousand people + in Kentucky served by LG&E were with out power region total said to be over a half million without power .LG&E also said that people could expect to be out of power for perhaps weeks .Also in Louisville 133 roads roads were closed. 100 hundred schools are with out power and class has already been canceled for the start of the week .Western High School lost its gym roof , Over 3,100 power-lines are known to be down .LG&E also said that the number was 3X the amount of the famous 1974 tornado outbreak , thus the worst they ever seen . 911 and emergency operators got 2,200 calls alone from the hours 11am to 4 pm , An average days amount of calls to 911 is 1,200 for the entire day . There was 36 ambulances active and all first responders are called to duty . There was 400 fire runs with 25 structure fires with 8 significant fires during the storm

Ryder Cup golf site suffered extreme damage

Most of my surrounding neighborhoods are without power , Some of the people around me took it pretty hard . We had a few big branches down .Other had them on their roofs and trees were on power-lines all over the place a real mess

My Net just came back up online , I'm one of the lucky few , Most everyone around me have no phone nor internet nor cable and no power to top it off, Hundreds of thousands ,, We took it pretty hard , They are calling it the worse to hit here in over 40 years , I have to agree ~ Very bad up here

No Gas No Food Almost sounds Like Gilligan's Island
