Hurricane Sandy: How Has It Impacted Cleveland Heights, Northeast Ohio?

The storm has hit Ohio hard - check out the effects so far.

Hurricane Sandy has pummeled the East Coast, and its massive impact has reached as far as Northeast Ohio.

The storm has brought high winds to the area, knocking out power to many and causing huge waves on Lake Erie.

Cleveland Heights Police Chief Jeffrey Robertson said the intersection of North Park and Coventry is closed in all directions due to high water. Drivers should not try to drive through — one car was stuck already this morning. Lee Road is closed between Cedar southbound to Meadowbrook downed wires and high water, he said. We'll have more information soon.
