I entered a photo of Polly & I in the 2023 OH State Parks Photo Contest, & we won 2nd place out of ~3,000 entries for best photo taken within an Ohio State Park!
Thanks to

for choosing our photo! Can’t wait to spend many more hours in our state parks this year.💚

My heart is with Logan County this morning.
Insurmountable damage near Indian Lake, & I expect daybreak will reveal much more. At least 6 are dead in the area, after several tornado warnings & very clear rotation yesterday evening.

AIR QUALITY | Columbus is up with some of the worst AQ in the world right now.
This is expected to persist all day. All people (and pets) should limit time outdoors, all day.
Flow shifts more ESE tmrw. That should HELP, although I do think we’ll still hang onto some haze.
