- Ohio Department of Transportation video captured a powerful storm flipping a vehicle in Columbus; no injuries were reported from that incident.
- The storm system brought strong winds, heavy rain, flooding, and widespread damage across parts of central Ohio.
- At least one fatality has been reported from the severe storms, according to the source.
- Governor Mike DeWine activated the Ohio National Guard in response to the damage and ongoing threat.
- DeWine urged residents to prepare for additional severe storms and flooding in the coming days.
Why it matters: The activation of the Ohio National Guard signals the state treats the threat as ongoing rather than a single passed event, and the governor's explicit warning of more storms means residents face a multi-day risk window for further damage and flooding.
