I was born & raised in Ohio and the tornados that have come through the last 2 years have been faster, wilder & more out of control than i ever remember them being. So scary. https://t.co/OfZ9yjl0Te

I had the aftermath of the tornadoes in Eastern, Ohio. Lots of hail, rain and wind.

Looking up the path of the tornadoes that touched down in Ohio and I didn't realize how close they were (like a few counties away), which was weird because we got nothing beyond rain and thunder.
