An area of strong low pressure moved northeast across Michigan and into Ontario on December 7th.  Strong winds occurred to the east of the low as it moved through the region.  A line of weak showers developed to the west of Interstate 71 during the late afternoon hours and then raced east across northeastern Ohio.  Gusty winds associated with this line were responsible for most of the damage that occurred.   A peak gust of 66 mph was measured at Burke Lakefront Airport (Cuyahoga County) at 443 p.m.  Hundreds of trees were downed across the area and many power outages were reported.   A home in Huron County was heavily damaged by a fallen tree.
