This telephone pole fell over on Mears Avenue in Mount Washington - one of hundreds around Greater Cincinnati - during a windstorm with 75 mile-an-hour gusts and 50 mile-an-hour sustained winds. Power has been out on this street, like many others in the area, since Sunday as Duke Energy crews scurrying to get the power back on. Currently there are 327,000 Duke customers still without power - down from 1.2 million since the storm hit Sunday. Duke officials say this is the worst outage in the company's history.
