One Month After Hurricane Ike, Ohioans Still Clearing Debris

Demand for some cleanup tools has faded, but residents continue to buy batteries and chain saws.

Last month's windstorm continues to generate extra work and extra business in western Ohio as residents and cities clean up the mess.

High winds from Hurricane Ike hit Ohio on Sept. 14, scattering branches and ripping down trees.

Demand for some cleanup tools has faded, but residents continue to buy batteries and chain saws.

Ken Heil says his lawn equipment shop in suburban Dayton is selling five to seven chain saws a day. That's what he usually sells in a week.

He says he's never seen such demand for chain saws.

Employees in nearby Kettering and other cities are working overtime to finish the cleanup.
