It was a miserable eight days, let me tell you! We were blessed to have friends whose power came on and I spent my days doing laundry and hanging out with them in various areas. My husband's office got power back Monday, I think, so we spent evenings there before heading home to sleep. Friday night, we slept on air mattresses at the office -- Heavenly to sleep in cool air!

We just outside of Hebron city limits lost our power until July 7th. Fortunately, we had a working generator and I got a fairly new window unit ac (110) that was stored in the garage. If not for that, we would've probably had to sleep in the cars. Kroger, however looked like the apocalypse had come through, never seen it that stripped before!

That Derecho. the only storm we've been hit by. To take out our power 5 seconds after it hit.

I live in Newark Ohio and work for a tree outfit. by far the worst storm damage we've ever had. I actually almost lost 3 fingers from a chainsaw cleaning a pine tree off a house on country club drive that day. literally scarred forever from that storm

Had this storm in WV too had no power for over a week

Here after the drencho we had in Middletown Ohio yesterday was without power for 24 hours in 110 degree Temps winds between 70-80 mph was scary and trees down everywhere....

That sound can be creepy as hell at night when you're alone, and in a loud storm! In my house, the wind whistles through the window air vents in strong wind, and sound a bit like flutes; just not so graceful! There's one which sounds like a demented elephant in very strong gusts, and, because it's the other side of the house, abruptly wakes me and scares the hell out of me!

Well, it's the 4th anniversary of that crazy storm. I still get a little freaked out when storms are headed our way, hoping they won't be like this.

Awesome footage! Glad you stuck with as long as you could and captured this footage.

I have family who live in Newark, off of Church St., near Dietrich. They are okay, but no power, as I'm getting cell phone text messages from them. This has to be almost as bad as the tornado that touched around that neighborhood in June 2010, huh? I drove in ther next day to visit on vacation and saw all of the branches down. Hope everyone is hanging in with the heat and humidity. :(

It looks like the part that hit you was quite a bit worse than the one we got. We didn't see any lightning here, just the strong winds and temp. power loss. Hope they get your power back up soon. It's just way too hot to be stuck without air!
