[6:35 AM] If you woke up to ice this morning, we'd love to hear how much you got! If you're measuring on a tree branch, be sure to measure the thickest and thinnest portions of the coating, add the two values, and divide by two. Photos are always helpful!

Severe Weather Awareness Week is March 16-22 -the Statewide Tornado Drill is Mar. 19 at 9:50 AM. This is a good opportunity for Ohioans to practice their sheltering plans. Ask yourself where you, your family, or coworkers shelter if a tornado warning is issued for your area?

If a warning is issued for your area, seek shelter immediately. 🌪️ Go to the lowest level of your home, or get to a closet or bathroom in the center most part of your home. 🌪️ You want to put as many walls between yourself and outdoors as you can. 🌪️Stay away from windows.

Having an emergency preparedness plan is smart; whether it be for the home or your business. Practice your plan to help keep everyone on the same page when it comes to sheltering, evacuating, communicating and other safety needs. #EmergencyPlan #InTheKnow
