I've been following this storm since yesterday and have kept you all in my prayers. Everything will get better before you know it. PLEASE help that guy out with no home insurance. I can't imagine what a bind he's in.
I live in a trailer park in Meadville Pa. A tree fell on a trailer two drives away from me. My power went out, but I wouldn't have known this if it were not for my computer shutting down while I slept. The owners had the limb removed that fell on my trailer earlier. They also had the two trees with limbs overhanging my trailer trimmed. The tree that fell on the trailer actually fell on two trailer, but the second was saved from complete destruction by the resistance of the first to the felling of the tree. I also swiped a third trailer, and did enough damage that the owners of that trailer are temporarily living in a hotel. The people in that trailer were outside watching the storm, and said if they had been at their normal storm watching vantage point, the tree would have fallen on them. I'm not sure what the owners will do about this fallen tree.
I was near this tornado still have no power this is the story I was at daycare in school age chilling drawing to until a adult says tornado get into the bathroom! So we wait a bit it was like we did not care but I said be quiet then rain was really hard then the power cut off some people screamed for a sec but there were emergency light that day my 2 other freinds were not there the next day they came my friends say the tornado was next to are house the cried almost they said the end
I live in Willowick ohio and my neighbors to my right don’t have power still some streets by me it’s like a war zone just about it’s crazy I think this time around we was in for it I feel bad for the ones who lost their homes
@@tinypopura That's not true. The Illuminating Company had a news conference, and said that all of their crews are here, and they did not go south for that. 2,500 ADDITIONAL CREWS are coming from other utility companies out of the area to help get the power back on. This storm was the worst storm in 30 YEARS.
@@faegrrrl Syracuse Labor Day Storm 1998 had a derecho. Wind speeds of 120 mph. Hundreds of thousands of trees were knocked down. St Lucy's whole church steeple collapsed. Thordon Park was shredded to pieces. The whole sides of large concrete buildings were blown away on the SU Hill. $130 million in estimated damages were amassed. That's for 1998. Lighting strikes of 20 per minute. Rochester NY, which is about 100 miles from Syracuse, viewed the lighting as twilight. When I went outside in the morning on the North Side, the park which had massive trees, were all lying down and uprooted. I watched from the window shudders on the neighbor's house being peeled away from the siding. The drop ceiling was actually being sucked up and dropping repeatedly above me. I thought, any minute now, that's it.
@@savanahmurray4099 a derecho has to travel more than 240 miles and winds of 58 mph or more during its duration, not a derecho, but a considerable destructive severe thunderstorm and they even issued a PDS destructive severe thunderstorm warning for lake and geauga counties.
@@archnemesis0513 dude the storm moved very fast compared to most storms. Also the storm was longer than the state. I know this because I watched on the radar when it happening and throughout the day before it even happened. The winds got up to hurricane strength almost 90 mph in a few places when it hit land. Also I took meteorology class so I know what a derecho is. Many don’t always exactly have those exact measurements, but are close. And this system has travelled across literally from the Dakotas. And other definitions of a derecho are not always saying its that big anyway. Also the main point here- Theres more than one kind of derecho. In fact, one can be shorter, way shorter. This weather event is called a “progessive derecho” and its happens to be on noaa’s website where I got this from in case you want to look it up. The others are the hybrid and serial derechos.
Come on guys, no point in arguing. NWS said there were two tornadoes, one starting in Lorain co and the other in Cuyahoga so can we just agree the damage is WIDESPREAD and everybody's feeling it?
Your comment is really ignorant first off it’s extremely rare that any of the cities in Cuyahoga County ever gets tornadoes okay so uh duh thats why they are focusing more on the damage in Cuyahoga County!!!!!!!!
È necessario che gli Uomini si abituino a questi fenomeni estremi, perché il mondo sta vivendo tempi di dolore molto forte di cui si parla già da tanti secoli: niente da meravigliarsi. Sarà sempre peggio in tutte le zone della Terra.
Half of this could be avoided if citys cut trees back but that's only common sense, Especially brecksville rd in Richfield Ohio its a about to go down as worse in Cleveland area
Yes why have empathy for poor people or question the status quo of private insurance that will still screw people over even with insurance when being smug and virtue signaling is so much more fun?
I was so mad. I had just bought $142 in groceries and was on my way home just as the storm clouds were on the horizon. I had gotten them all put away and the storm hit and the power went out. A few hours later, i got a text from the Illuminating company telling me the power would be out for several days. I had to throw everything i just bought in the garbage.
This storm was really a bad one - so much damage and still no power for so many people - praying for you guys up there in NE Ohio !!

underground powerlines would help

I went through this neighborhood earlier. And down detroit. The damage is horrible, MANY roads are closed
Still no power! They say not till Aug the 14th😢
They said that more than 95% of residences without power will have power restored before that date.
Mines came back on a day ago
Hey, WKYC, can you get street video cam footage and upload it?

People in the surrounding counties have also lost power
31 hours, have yet to see one crew in my neighborhood in Lake County. Word on the street is it might be until Saturday

PLEASE GET OUR ELECTRICITY BACK ONLINE ASAP 🙏🏼
WKYC has no control over that. The electric companies can only move as fast as necessary or you'll be back complaining how it went back out.
PLEASE get a Generator!!!! CB
Most of their crew is in the Carolinas helping with the hurricane.
Why don't you have a generator? Please don't start disrespecting the men working so hard to fix things!!!

Nice of corporate media not to mention climate change or the increase in frequency of these storms.
get the guy with the sound effects on the payroll!
How will we eat and get gas?
Were tornadoes SIGHTED?
Or
Was it just a Duratio? CB
A derecho is a huge, very wide "wind bag" that covers a larger area. They don't usually uproot trees.
It was both. The whole system was a derecho thats spawned multiple tornadoes

Why are you discussing cuyahoga county mostly? Lake county had way more damage.
How do you know that? Have you came to cuyahoga? Cuz we got it bad.
Come on guys, no point in arguing. NWS said there were two tornadoes, one starting in Lorain co and the other in Cuyahoga so can we just agree the damage is WIDESPREAD and everybody's feeling it?
Way more people without power in cuyahoga too. 204k vs your 57k. I think we got it worse lol

i just simply want the power back, thats literally all i want right now
@@MmmWafflez Get a generator!!!
@@marthamason4554 my family already got one and by the time you sent this my power came back, but thx for the idea
A homeowner WITHOUT
homeowners insurance is
TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE.
CB
Like a driver without car
insurance!😳😬😠
It's easy to say that when you're able to afford it.
In this economy? Sorry not everyone is rich like you 🙄

Plenty of jobs. When people dont want to work and get welfare, thats what you get. This channel only shows poor neighborhoods like no one else had it
@@kennyalwaysdies1 people voted for democrats, thats what you get. Vote for kamala and you will never afford insurance
