It seems the familiar places that receive bad weather are getting it as well as the areas that rarely see Tornado activity. Honestly, I am almost 31 years old and before the 2 Tornado Warnings we had in the past 4 days, I only remember ONE growing up. Things have been acting crazy lately...
Those warnings down by you were legit too.
Just based on past trending, the NWS office in Pittsburgh (which covers in Ohio starting with Columbiana County and then heads to the south and east... they cover PA and the panhandle of WV mostly) only issues warnings when shit is going down. The NWS Cleveland (which covers from Toledo, across northern Ohio through Cleveland, Canton, and Youngstown) has a quick trigger finger. MANY storms that Cleveland warns will not be warned once they cross into Pittsburgh territory... I learned this growing up in Columbiana County when Cleveland would issue a tornado warning in Stark and then Pittsburgh wouldn't issue shit in Columbiana, and the storm had for the most part not weakened at all.
(To be fair, Cleveland does well with their western counties where it is flat and tornadoes happen; however they overwarn like a motherfucker on their eastern half where it starts to get hilly,namely Canton/Akron and Youngstown)
You have good meteorologists covering your area down there in Jefferson County.
(On a related note, Cleveland apparently did get one right today in Wayne County, where an Emegrency Manager saw it on the ground; 12 structures were damaged)
