- Incredible video of the tornado along the Ottawa & Sandusky county line at 6:57pm. This footage was shot by Julia H. along Woodrich Rd looking north. You can actually see damage flying when they zoom in.
00:00 - Big Life Update! After 3 great years at AccuWeather where I’ve learned so much and grown as a person and meteorologist, I will be coming home to Toledo in September to join the 13abc weather team. I’m so excited for this opportunity to keep an eye on the sky for my hometown 😄
- The first photo is from May 7th, 2014 when I visited @13abc as a senior in high school. The second photo is from today. Dreams do come true!!
- Meet Orvil Benskin everyone! A Napoleon, OH resident and World War 2 veteran, today is his 100th birthday! We’ll have Orvil’s story at 5pm on @13abc.
- Just deployed version #1 of “Witt’s Snow Measuring System”. It’s located in a wooded area to minimize the influence of blowing and drifting. Numbers are inches and correspond with the thick line beneath it.
