Yesterday, storms became severe as they moved east of Wood County. The Sandusky (and Cedar Point) area experienced a very strong but very narrow corridor of damaging wind called a microburst (straight-line wind) from a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms today could have similar microburst activity across all of NW Ohio. Please monitor weather conditions for isolated strong to severe thunderstorm activity this afternoon and evening.
