Trouble in OH???

[Qui-Gon]

I've been trying to reach CS at Beltronics all day to find out the status of my STi, with no luck. All phone lines are busy, and the websites are down. Did the remnants of Ike cause this mess?

It appears so? Can't access web page and a busy signal for the phone. I believe they mentioned on the news that there are 850,000 to 1.5 million with out power in Ohio and surrounding states.

Did the remnants of Ike cause this mess?

Certainly possible.

I live in Metro-Cleveland, NE-Ohio, and even here, Ike's wake caused significant wind-damage.

Downed power/phone lines have been reported throughout the area, and even on my short 10-mile drive to work this AM, I noted a fully impassable sector of secondary roadway, as well as sighted a large tree, sheared in half, which was held at a precarious angle across the roadway by severely strained power/phone lines.

Many of our power-crews, ironically, had been diverted to TX, to provide much-needed help to Ike victims - and no-one had thought that what little that remains of it would sweep through the area in such a vicious manner.

My sister-in-law's house is without power. My good buddy's parent's house (their entire neighborhood, actually), further south of us, is expected to be without power for most of the week, due to the manner in which treefalls severed the above-ground grid.

The area where Bel/Escort is located (West Chester) is pretty much without power. It may be another day or two until everything is back on line.

they got hit very hard yesterday. My dad and a large group are heading up to help restore power.

Web site back on line. But phone is still out of service.

The company I work for is about 7 miles from Belscort and almost no one was in the office today. The one person I talked to said her power has been out since 1:00PM Sunday.

Hey all...

We got hit with 70-80 MPH winds... 800,000 homes without power in Cincinnati including mine. We didn't get power until last night in my part of the town but half the city doesn't have power still.

My company's internet and phones were down all day today because of time warner having issues... so you are going to have to be patient if you can't reach Beltronics, Escort, VR, etc here in Cincy.

Thanks for the information. Do you know if power has been restored to West Chester ? Thank you for any information.

I heard they still don't have power there in the residential areas... it's hit or miss.

Some areas of town have power like mine, but right across the street they won't have power. We finally got our internet and phones back up today at noon at my work.
