We're still without power in braxton county, and looks like will be for the rest of the week. Lucky to have a generator and enough gas to get that far. I've not heard of any fatalities from this, and hope it stay that way...neighbors are all OK.

Darn it, you know, I never heard one warning of any storm from the emergency broadcast system, did anyone else? All I had was my eyeballs and hair standing up on the back of my neck...

same here o warnings wat so ever i saw it coming from on top the montain and began to brace my farm as best i could

I wonder if anymore dollars should be spent on that system, so far all it's done is interrupt my favorite program endings to tell me of storms not even in my area..lol..there are other systems working better, maybe I'll send a letter to the governor.

mayb u should

I think he should be aware of it, and someone needs to explain it. My friend was in a veterens meeting and had no idea how dangerous the roads were, driving in the dark with downed power lines etc...jeepers, something is def broken. Hope he has e mail, fill find out.

I knew how strong it was thanks to Facebook friends who knew i was getting ready to leave for southern Ohio to cover an event. 91 mph winds when it left Fort Wayne Indiana, hit the event with 80 mph winds. I stayed put and it hit here at 10 pm...few trees down but we were lucky, never even lost power.

You would think, if I can get updates that our Government (state or otherwise) could use the system we have in place to get these alerts out faster! It is being described as a hurricane with no warning.....
