Is everybody OK after The Big Wind yesterday? I've got limbs littering the back yard, and my shed will have to be reshingled. My neighbor's shed is about 200 yards from where it once was. Trees down all around the area. Over a quarter million people without power. Nothing compared to Texas, but the winds were clocked at 70 to 80 MPH.

That was just ole Ike passing through. He breezed by me here in Venice, Florida earlier last week. I invited him over for a beer but he was in a hurry to get to Texas. Kept whistling what I believed to be an old Glen Campbell tune as he moved along. Something about Galveston.
In the meantime, there's a fly rapidly beating its wings somewhere on the African Serengeti and setting into motion what could become the next Ike or Katrina. We endure this every year until the end of November, and for some crazy reason continue to live here. NEXT!!

Yep, it was Ike and a cold front colliding over the Ohio Valley. Derby City is still trying to recover. LG&E says only 189,000 residences are offline. That is an improvement over where it was.

I understand that Hurricane Tina is next! Actually, all the stations I contract for were blown off the air. 680 came back on the air Monday. We brought WLOU up when the studio got power Thursday. WLLV continues to be off the air since the wind snapped my telco trunk in half between the pole and building and 620 remains off the air. I have to give the folks at WHAS credit, they were really on top of things. I was at the Bengals game in Cincinnati and dialed them in as I was leaving. I was surprised at their coverage considering the cuts that have happened over there in recent years.
