Ohio forecast to have a 'brief tornado' Thursday evening, with hail and rain possible
Tornadoes are in Thursday's forecast. Ohioans should brace themselves for the severe storm to hit Thursday evening, according to Alex Kennedy, a meteorologist who works in the Cleveland office of the National Weather Service. Strong winds will begin "late evening into the overnight hours." "It looks like it will scour through the northern portion of Ohio," Kennedy said. "The main area we're focused on now is Northwest Ohio." A weather service bulletin warns Ohioans of "strong wind gusts, large hail and a brief tornado." Wind gusts are expected to top 60 mph throughout the event, tornado or not. "That could mean damaged trees, branches down and power lines could fall," Kennedy said. Rainfall could be heavy in areas, but will be localized and not widespread. The storm could impact the following Ohio counties: Richland, Ashland, Crawford, Wayne, Ottawa, Erie, Sandusky, Knox, Morrow, Holmes, Marion, Seneca, Huron, Wyandot, Lucas, Wood, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula, Hancock, Medina, Summit, Portage, Trumbull, Stark and Mahoning. The storm will be out of the Buckeye State by daybreak Friday. "It will be fairly quick moving," Kennedy said. "Anything that happens will be pretty quick." ztuggle@ 419-564-3508 This article originally appeared on Mansfield News Journal: Thursday forecast of hail, strong winds and a potential tornado

Primary election: Mansfield voters approve pair of income tax renewal levies
Mansfield residents continued their support of a pair of 0.25% renewal levies in Tuesday's primary election. They approved the so-called P.R.I.D.E. and pothole haters tax issues by comfortable margins. The pothole haters tax passed by a margin of 1,658 votes to 843, or 66.2% to 33.8%, in final, unofficial totals from the Richland County Board of Elections. As for the P.R.I.D.E. tax, it collected 1,555 "yes" votes to 922 "no" votes, a winning margin of 62.8% to 37.2%. Each levy will generate $4.8 million during each of the four years. The pothole haters tax has been renewed each time since it was first put on the ballot in the late 1980s. Jodie Perry "I'm very thankful that voters decided to give us another four years to work in both of these areas," Mayor Jodie Perry said. "That's a sign they're satisfied with the things they're seeing." The pothole haters tax funds 100% of the city's resurfacing each year. Perry previously said the city does anywhere from $4 million to $6 million in resurfacing annually. P.R.I.D.E. stands for parks, recreation, illumination, demolitions and emergency services. Half of the money goes to the safety services, 22% for parks, 20% for demolitions and 8% for street lights. "This will help us get staffing numbers up in the police department and keep the fire department fully staffed as well," Perry said. The levy covers 100% of the parks budget and provides the only funding for demolitions. "The demolition money is very unique and has helped us clean up a lot of blight," Perry said. "We'll continue getting things cleaned up, so we can build for the future." Parks have been another focus of Perry's administration. "We've made some great strides in the last 15 months," the mayor said. mcaudill@ 419-521-7219 X: @MarkCau32059251 This article originally appeared on Mansfield News Journal: Mansfield voters give thumbs-up to pair of renewal levies
