Here in Huntington, we're okay, but there are trees down all over, with roofs peeled off and billboards knocked down. Huntington Tristate Airport recorded a gust of 92 mph.

(For the benefit of the non-West Virginians who might read this, we had a very nasty storm front pass through this morning. So far just a few minor injuries, but more than 140,000 households have lost power.)
