Ohio holds statewide tornado drill

Posted: Updated:

If you heard sirens Wednesday morning there was no cause for alarm. It was just a test.

Ohio participated in a statewide tornado drill for National Severe Weather Preparedness Week. The sirens went off at 9:50 a.m.

Lucas County's emergency management agency received reports of two sirens that didn't activate. One was in Swanton Township, the other near Toledo Christian School.

No issues were reported in Wood County.
