Cincinnati dodged a bullet. Debris falling out of the sky near CVG, which had to close for cleanup, and in the northern burbs. School papers from Indiana school found in Blue Ash OH. We had black clouds and heavy rain but thankfully were in between the 2 large super cells that moved through.

Afraid of what the news will be out of there...
