Driving back from a friend's potluck, I counted at least six full fire engines piled around the maybee bank. anyone know what happened? I didn't see any smoke.
I had been outside but came in just as part of this was going on. There must have been a 'direct hit' of lightning somewhere right in Maybee. LMR firefighters were reporting smoke coming out of various electrical equipment in different areas... including the Cable amplifiers. Probably going to be a real mess in the area for a few days. There were reports of several buildings hit by lightning and possibly on fire. I did hear them request assistance from Ida. I'm not sure if they had other departments there or not since I only listened for a short time and then went back outside.
The MEN did have something posted about all the emergency crews being out yesterday... a fire in the apartment buildings in Dundee, a big wildfire up off of Muelheisen Rd... several water rescues as the storm front moved down Lake Erie... but I don't see anything on their website now. Maybe on their Facebook page

For the last few days we've watched the rain go to the north of us several times...
to the south of us a couple of times...
seems to come in from the west regularly and then stop before it gets to us...
and last night watched it all go to the east of us...
WE NEED RAIN TOO
We should be easy to spot... we're the area with the brown lawn!!!
