Hundreds of local National Guardsmen headed to Hurricane Zone

A press release is due out within the hour, but a source in Columbus tells me that 1,500 Ohio National Guardsmen are headed to the Hurricane Zone. About half are from Northeast Ohio, including two units from the armory in Green, right next to the Akron-Canton Airport.

That's about the same number of Buckeye troops (I was one of them) that Ohio sent to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

More to come ..
