These pictures cannot fully represent the extent of the damage caused by the storm that came through Ohio last Friday.  Most of the damage was sustained on the south side of the city, but by no means exclusively.  It was estimated that 20,000 people were without power Friday.  The power is slowly coming back, but there are still over 10,000 without. The Chapa abode is still without power, but thankfully, no major damage was sustained to the house.  One piece of fascia blew off the side of the house and one big limb from a tree in the front of the house fell onto the ground. Not a big deal considering some of the damage I saw to other people's homes.
