November 24, 2014 High Wind Event

From the Cleveland National Weather Service

http://www.weather.gov/cle/event_20141124_high_wind

A deepening low pressure system tracked through the Central Great Lakes on the night of November 23rd. This system pulled a strong cold front across northern Ohio on November 24th, with very strong winds gusting to 50-65 mph behind the front. A broken line of thunderstorms accompanied the front and caused isolated pockets of wind damage. Strong winds with gusts of 50-6Knox County - wind damage via EMA5 mph continued for several hours following the front causing widespread wind damage across northern Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania. At least 6 semi-trucks were blown over due to the strong winds. Significant damage occurred to one building in Elyria and rotated approximately 15 degrees. Trees and power lines were brought down in nearly every county causing thousands of power outages.
