It varies. Columbiana and southern Mahoning counties are ok, northern Mahoning and Trumbull are hurt bad. I've heard the grapes along Erie were hurt. Michigan and NY cherry crop is real bad.
I have 5 trees out at my hunting grounds that this is the first time in 2-3 years they have had apples on them. Every apple tree I have seen around here is just loaded with apples this year. Last year was not a good year for apples around here. Couldn't buy an apple around here last season so I guess this year makes up for that.
I have 4 on my property. 3 have a decent amount of apples, but without the moisture they are not looking real big. Better than having no apples I guess.
I have 5 apple trees and every one of them had apples this year....until the 90 mph wind last week. Probably 75% of them blew off the trees.

I've seen mixed results this year too. The tree down the street that was loaded last year only has a handfull. I have seen more apples down south.
I saw a couple of red oaks that were absolutely loaded on Monday. I need to do a little more scouting on my white oaks, but I at least know of two trees I can count on this year...

My big apple tree in my back yard is loaded, lost a few in the storm but there is still a ton on the tree, I will be putting them out in front of the cams again this year.

I've been told for the state of Michigan they are estimating less then a 10% crop of apples.
You are probably right Ohiosam, haven't heard statistics yet but most of the outdoor radio shows I listen to say they are few and far between!!

Checked on my trees again tonight. Had to get something out of the camper and my trees are planted in front of the camper and shop. Sounds like I better start picking them up as they hit the ground to bait some places for the kids. Might be the only ones around from the sounds of things.
