Ohio Storms Leave Devastation and Loss | Cleveland News

Severe storms tore through central Ohio Tuesday, packing 80-mph winds and possibly a tornado that flipped a car onto its roof—thankfully with no injuries. Widespread damage, flooding, and power outages hit hard, prompting a state of emergency in Perry and Muskingum counties. One tragic death occurred in Muskingum County due to flooding, underscoring the deadly danger. Rescue teams scrambled to evacuate residents, while officials warned more storms were on the way, threatening further flooding. The National Weather Service hasn’t confirmed a tornado, but the damage suggests something powerful passed through. Columbus and Cincinnati both suffered major disruptions, with hundreds of thousands without power. Governor DeWine urged everyone to take warnings seriously—flooding isn’t over yet.
