Ohio sees most tornadoes in U.S. in 2024
COLUMBUS, Ohio — According to data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Buckeye State has already seen more than 30 tornadoes in 2024.
On average, Ohio sees about 21 tornadoes in a year. The state has already documented 35, and it’s only the beginning of the official tornado season. The Buckeye State saw several toward the end of February and through the month of March. Some might think the uptick in tornadoes is due to warmer winters and changes in our climate, but experts say it’s a combination of a few different factors.
Tornadoes are often a result of retreating cool air and incoming warm air chasing each other with a combination of some sort of moisture. In Ohio’s case this year, the moisture is coming from the Gulf of Mexico. On average, Ohio sees about five to six tornadoes by the start of the season in April, but with a warmer winter this year we did see quite a few tornadoes early in the year. State Climatologist for Ohio Aaron Wilson said while the weather may have something to do with why we’re seeing tornadoes earlier, they’ve always been part of Ohio’s weather pattern.
“Certainly there is a role to play with warmer winters, warmer springs, the ability for our jet stream to bring in weather patterns, to bring up more moisture from the gulf and mix and create these systems, but the weather pattern in and of itself, especially in March and April, this is not atypical for our region,” said Wilson.
Wilson said updated radar technology also plays a part. Switching from Doppler radar to dual polarization radar has allowed us to track small EF-0 and EF-1 tornadoes that might not have been picked up in the past.
“What that has allowed us to do is be able to detect a lot more tornadoes through radar and to detect EF1s and EF0s,” said Wilson. “These smaller, less intense tornadoes we’re actually witnessing or observed, I should say, observing more of those than maybe we did in the past before 19, certainly before 1990.”
The worst year for tornadoes in the state was 1992 when we saw 62 touch down.
While there are some years like 2005 or 2015 when we did not see much activity, it’s important to always have a plan in place and have a way to access severe weather coverage during tornado season. The season usually wraps up by around mid to late June. Click here to learn about the history of tornadoes in Ohio.

THC gummies at some Ohio dispensaries recalled for mislabeling

(WJW) – The Division of Cannabis Control has recalled some THC gummies sold at dispensaries across Ohio, state officials announced on Tuesday.
The DCC issued a Class II Product Recall for some batches of Kiva Lost Farms Cannabis-Infused Pectin Gummies after learning that servings weren’t labeled with the universal THC symbol, the Ohio Department of Commerce said.
“A product recall was determined to be the most appropriate course of action, as a child accessing the product or another individual ingesting the product unaware it contains THC could result in adverse health consequences,” state officials said in the recall.
The recalled gummies, manufactured by Klutch Processing, LLC, were sold at many Ohio dispensaries, including locally, between Jan. 14, 2025 and Oct. 21, 2025.
They were listed under the following product names:
- Kiva Lost Farms Cannabis-Infused Pectin Gummies – Island Punch Made With O43 Strain
- Kiva Lost Farms Cannabis-Infused Pectin Gummies – Thorny Berry Made With Violet Fog Strain
- Kiva Lost Farms Cannabis-Infused Pectin Gummies – Watermelon Made With Ice Cream Cake Strain
The Department of Commerce provided a breakdown of the recalled products and where they were sold:

Ohio State’s defense is already elite, but these two players could make it even better

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State’s defense has been nothing short of dominant this season, but what’s scary for future opponents is that it might be on the verge of getting even better.
The latest episode of Buckeye Talk revealed two fascinating developments that could transform an already-elite unit into something truly unstoppable.
The first involves what Stephen Means described as “the ultimate good problem” at the nickel position. While Lorenzo Styles has been solid, Jermaine Mathews has shown flashes of being an elite playmaker who can dramatically change games with his ability to create turnovers.
“This is, I think, the ultimate good problem that a defense could have — where the guy who’s doing a job isn’t doing it poorly, but there just might be a guy who is elite, elite, elite at it,” Means said.
The option between Styles and Mathews represents the luxury Ohio State now has – two excellent players for one position, with Mathews offering a specific skill set that addresses one of the few areas where the defense could improve: creating more takeaways.
Co-host Stefan Krajisnik emphasized Mathews’ impact:
“I just think he’s such a difference-maker for you that if that’s the one thing you feel like this defense is lacking… I would continue to give Jermaine Mathews some snaps there in the slot.”
But perhaps the most intriguing revelation came from defensive end Kenyatta Jackson, who approached defensive coordinator Matt Patricia about being allowed more freedom as a pass rusher.
Jackson, who has been disciplined in his containment responsibilities against mobile quarterbacks, wanted permission to use his full arsenal of pass-rush moves.
Means highlighted the significance of this conversation:
“I also love the fact that he said that Matt Patricia’s response was like, ‘Yeah, just don’t go past quarterback… You can do whatever you want as long as you don’t put us at a disadvantage.”
This context explains why Jackson hasn’t been as statistically productive as many expected. Against more traditional pocket passers, Jackson could now be unleashed, complementing Caden Curry (who’s putting up numbers comparable to Chase Young’s Heisman campaign start) and creating a truly terrifying pass rush.
What we witnessed against Wisconsin – where Jackson registered three pressures and a sack after this conversation with Patricia – might just be the beginning. Ohio State’s defense is already allowing a minuscule 5.9 points per game, but these adjustments suggest the best is yet to come.
