Should be getting the rain sometime in the next 6 hours...

I'm in northern Ohio as well... and I just got my power back on about 10 minutes ago thanks to the storm; about 10 hours without power, and it wasn't fun. I was sitting outside on my covered deck for the first two, though, so that was fun; it's sheltered on two sides, so there was no wind affecting me there, and I got to watch the forest behind my house get a serious beating.
The roads around me got some serious trees down, and one major road (4 lanes) was barricaded in a few places for trees. It seems major to me, since I've never seen such winds before, and it makes me realize that I don't know how bad a hurricane must be.
