At daybreak on September 14th, the remnants of Hurricane Ike were centered over southeastern Missouri.  This low moved rapidly northeast during the day reaching Northwest Ohio during the afternoon of the 14th.  The low then moved up Lake Erie and over Lake Huron by the late evening hours.  Damaging winds accompanied this storm system and caused widespread wind damage across northern Ohio.  Damage and clean up cost from this event could exceed $300 million in northern Ohio alone. Reports of high winds and wind damage began during the mid afternoon hours of September 14th and tapered off late in the evening.  The damage across the area was extensive with thousands of trees, power lines and utility poles downed.  The time of year of this event contributed greatly to the amount of damage that occurred since the trees in the area were still foliated. Thousands of homes and buildings sustained varying degrees of damage from the high winds.  Two deaths and several injuries occurred as a result of this storm.
As many as two million people in northern Ohio lost power as a result of this storm.  Some residents were without power for as long as two weeks.  Utility crews from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Massachusetts were dispatched to the region to help the restoration efforts.  Local electrical companies were forced to recall crews sent to Texas.
Travel during this event was difficult in some areas because of the large number of downed trees, power lines and utility poles.  Power outages caused many traffic lights to be inoperable which further hampered travel.  Hundreds of vehicles were damaged by fallen trees or limbs.
Crop losses from the high winds were also significant across portions of northern Ohio.  Estimates suggest that corn yields were reduced by an average of three to five percent.  Soybean losses were much more variable and ranged from little damage up to a ten percent loss in yield in some fields.
