Temperatures today, well, that, 54 at 7 00, 61 midday, and then an afternoon high today in the middle 60s. 20 degrees above average, and 2 degrees away from our record high of 67. My goodness.

Were in the 50s all night. 57 at 7 00, and then we drop to theres a little chance that we could see a few showers move through very late tonight, but most of the evening will be just fine.

I may remove the chance of rain. As the models come in, that will let me know whether or not to take out sundays chance of rain. Laura we have to enjoy today for what its worth, right .

The attack at the Ohio State University struck current students as well as former our tia ewing on campus this morning, and tia, you are a former student, a graduate of Ohio State University. Tell us about your reaction yesterday morning when you first heard about what was going on at ohio state. Tia you know, brian, to be honest with you, i couldnt believe it. When you hear the Ohio State University you think buckeyes and football and sports and tradition, and you also think of a Great Research university. What you dont think of is any the Ohio State University. What i can tell you, being a former student, is that i do know Campus Police have always been vigilant at the university and a Strong Police force. So its no surprise when i heard how fast Campus Police were right here on scene at watts hall. Ill tell you this, though. My heart is still heavy. Although there are no casualties as a result, no innocent people were killed at least, its still unbelievable, unfathomable that weve seen it happen all across the country, but i guess you never think it would happen so close to home. I guess really what it did is put everything in perspective for me as a former student and as a journalist and person just living in the United States at a time such as this. College campuses tend to be closeknit communities. How do you think the student body, which i think is the key question here, is going to react . How are they going to come together and push themselves through whats a difficult time for them just Walking Around this cams building every day . Tia i mean, shocking, really, when you think about it that classes are back in session today. They were all canceled yesterday, so that is a really good question. How will everyone band together . I think thats exactly what will happen. Ohio state has a tradition of everyone banding together, everyone coming together in a time when theres happy times. So im just going to believe that the same thing will happen during tragic times. As of right now, i can tell you as if life is resuming back to normalcy. I hope that is the continued presence here, that everyone will continue to band together and look at the positive outcomes that no innocent lives were lost, brian. Brian great job. Talk to you again in a couple of minutes. Coming up on cleveland 19 news, we show you what morning commuters could deal with after brian good morning. Were following breaking news caused lots of damage around northeast ohio overnight. Power is out, lines down, trees knocked over, and even a vacant building collapsed. Our live Team Weather Coverage begins in 30 seconds. Were live in columbus as the ohio state campus begins waking up, and it will begin the healing process in the wake of attack there, the tragic attack that sent 11 people to the hospital. Good morning, everyone. Im brian duffy. Tia ewing is live in columbus this morning where that campus hard as it may be today. Well go live to columbus in a moment. First, we had a wild night of weather. Lets get a check on traffic and weather beginning with our meteorologist, sam roberts. Hey, sam. Samantha hey, duff. Good morning. Good morning to you if youre just waking up with us, its 6 30. I want to let you know that the big, damaging wind gusts from last night has died down. Wee sustained from the south up to 20 Miles Per Hour. No damaging wiendz anymore. Thats excellent news for the morning drive and walk to the bus stop this morning helps us out when its not overly windy. Winds gust at 23 Miles Per Hour in ashtabula. Thats better than 50 Miles Per Hour, which is what some of you had to deal with overnight. I know it sounded like my windows were about to break last night. So im glad that has eased up for us. Were dry, too. Last nights rain is long gone, but still a lot of cloud cov hanging around. We keep the clouds through the first part of the day. No rain, and todays hourbyhour chance of rain is zero from sunup to sundown. You want to get outside and hang up christmas decorations. It will be breezy and warmer in the mid60s. Speaking of wind, last night on clevelands west side we had bad wind damage reported in some areas around west 91st and maywood. This is, again, on the west side, and thats where we find us exactly what kind of damage is found there. Denise yeah, i was just looking around here. It really strikes you that all these bricks from this building are down in the middle of the street here. You can see how the walls just came tumbling down onto west 91st and maywood. Thats the intersection that were at here where the high winds overnight were told caused this vacant building to collapse. Luckily were told nobody was hurt. Significant things to point out about wind damage overnight. Another building that sustained some major damage, that one i want to show you was atkinsman and east 73rd street. Thats st. Teresa holiness science church. The wind must have whipped up strongly enough to pull off the front of the facade there. Just a short time ago we were on east ninth near euclid where overnight a construction wire glass to go flying and they had to shut down east ninth street, several intersections there. Luckily thats reopened, and thats why we moved to this location right here. If you take a live look at this, it will be interesting to see this as the sun comes up. Its a sight to see. Again, high winds cause damage all over the viewing area where there were power lines down, trees down and we head over to Laura Demaria to find out if any of that is still causing any traffic problems. Laura. Laura when you look at the highways, the highways are not the problem spots. Gosh, about 6,000 customers still without power here in northeast ohio, so some of the problems we have not in the akron area either. We have Power Outages, but not on the highway. Highways look perfect. We have an accident at madison avenue at berea roads. Thats roads are very, very wet still this morning, so that can cause problems on the morning between cooley and san diego. All lanes blocked there. We had that clearing of east ninth street where we were blocked due to l
