CLEVELAND — We’re only a couple of months into severe weather season and already we’ve seen dozens of tornadoes touch down here in Ohio.

As the sirens continue, there is a danger of people not responding effectively.

For some people, tornado fatigue can be real. This could be a prime example of it.

Sirens went off in more than a dozen counties across Ohio Tuesday night.

But in the end, thankfully, there was not a lot of significant damage reported across the state.

Often times, that leads people to wonder whether they really need to move to their safe spot when they hear the sirens, especially if it means waking up the kids in the middle of the night.

But Alex McCarthy, the director of emergency management in Delaware County, said that’s the wrong approach to take as severe weather season continues.

“The bottom line is tornadoes are going to continue to be a hazard here in Ohio throughout the remainder of the year and years to come and they are dangerous. I mean you can see tornadoes that can generally do damage to homes, we’ve unfortunately had a few fatalities across the state here due to tornadoes and even though we’re finding tornado warnings are issued more and more frequently right now, it’s still important that people take the precautions,” McCarthy said.

As a reminder, McCarthy said during a tornado warning, people should always go to the lowest level of their home or an interior room to give you the best chance of staying safe if a tornado were to hit your home.
