When I left the States in September, the backwash of Ike was just beginning to roll over me as my plane departed Dayton airport. Had we left even 20 minutes later I think we would have been tumbled sideways off the runway by the growing winds. My girlfriend, an Ohio resident and already distraught after having had to wave goodbye to me, was further freaked out on the way home as Ike started to punch over trees and blow things across the road. Scary stuff! Aimless anecdotes aside, thanks for the great site, & long may it continue (selfishly says he who just found it...)
