Strong thunderstorms and possible tornados in Central Ohio today 2 April

The national weather service is saying that it is very likely there will be some strong storms this afternoon & tonight.

The local electric company has a poor track record of staying online ( they are poor at maintaince), if my power goes off, I'll turn off my phone and ~~maybe~~off line for tomorrows' breakfast.

Just wanted to give a heads up

we are under a severe storm warning in Marietta. So far, heavy rain, but the wind hasn't been bad.

Let us know how you do!

An amazing variety of scary weather: 90 to 120 mph wind, flash flooding, enormous hail, small tornadoes all over the region and lightning that fried the sky. It's dangerous, extremely, so make plans now. Love your posts in cooking & baking.
