we had zero damage but did get almost an inch of rain from that storm (and a marvelous cool down-in a matter of minutes we went from 104F to 65F). But we were about 50 miles from the beginning of the storm so the winds were at best 65mph for maybe 3 minutes than dropped to 40 mph for maybe 1/2 hour while it rained heavily. The only thing we had happen was all of our row covers we had not already removed came flying off and 2 were ripped to shreds on a fence But it did quickly gain strength and by the time it hit Dayton, OH (about 10 minutes later) it was full strength and doing a lot of damage and injuring a lot of people.

This storm really reminded me of a tsunami of wind rolling for hundreds of miles. It was a really strange storm.
