#Tornado watch is in effect until 9pm CDT for parts of OH, IN and KY. A few tornadoes are possible, along with wind gusts up to 70 mph and hail up to 1.5" diameter.
Nothing like @HomeDepot saying you will get your dining chairs on Dec 24th and only 4 of the 6 actually arrive. Now I wish I wouldn't have opened that credit card account.
Thanks!!

Calm before the storm! A perfect #rainbow pic outside the station. Keep an eye in the sky with storms on the way. @NWSILN issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our area & NW til 9pm. Added a screenshot of the radar also. Be prepared to take shelter if the weather turns bad!
2 Unit had a surprise visitor tonight at the firehouse......a stowaway possum they found hiding behind one of the SCBA seats inside the cab of L121! Don't worry - no animals were harmed in the making of this video. Our new friend was set free in the field behind the station.
Lighting up the front ramp of the fire station in red for the @NFFF_News Light the Night tribute Sept. 27-Oct. 4. Join us this week in honoring our brother & sister #firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty this past year. #nffflightthenight2020#NeverForget

I have a VERY large hornet in the back of my truck. Not sure if it's worth someone looking at or if it's just an abnormally large one that is common around Cbus.
We're hosting a drive-thru celebration to honor Chief Hoovler on his upcoming #retirement. Load up the car & drive through our apparatus bay on July 23 & 24 from noon to 2pm to congratulate him on his 25+ year career as our Fire Chief and wish him farewell.
This morning, Chief Hoovler was given a #proclamation from Ohio Representative @mary_lightbody in recognition of his 26 years of service to the residents of @newalbanyohio and @plaintownshipoh. He was hired as Fire Chief in October of 1994, and is retiring in 2 weeks on July 24.
2 Unit Ladder 121 crew gave an assist to our neighbors @WestLickingFire with an unconscious worker on the roof of a large construction site in east @NewAlbanyOhio. Gold star for our @Sutphenfire SPH100 aerial on this one.
1 Unit #roperescue training. Crews used various lifting & lowering systems to rescue our hose dummy from a tree. This drill tested proficiency w/ an MPD, pickoff strap, load-releasing hitch, brake rack, & 3:1 Z-drag. Thanks @TucsonFireDept for the YouTube video to make the dummy.
Quick response & creative hose deployment by 2 Unit crews this evening kept this gas grill fire on Richmond Sq. out of the structure. Engineer threw a ground ladder to the B-side patio wall like a ship's plank for easy access to the fire. No injuries to firefighters or civilians.
@NWSILN I posted a few pics earlier, but you could probably just follow the path of @AEPOhio outages and find all of your storm damage: Columbus-->Newark-->Coshocton-->New Philadelphia
