Counties and communities will have the chance to sound their tornado sirens at that time. Emergency management officials have encouraged residents to go over their tornado safety plans during the drill. Ohio had a record-breaking 74 tornadoes in 2024.

What potholes? Study ranks Ohio's highways among the 10th best in the nation
Ohio has the tenth best highways in the nation in terms of cost-effectiveness and condition, according to a new report from The Reason Foundation. The Buckeye State's new rank is an improvement from Reason's last annual report, which ranked Ohio as 17th. Every year, The Reason Foundation —a libertarian think tank— ranks the nation's state highway systems on cost effectiveness, condition and a slew of other metrics. The data for this year's report, titled the 28th Annual Highway Report, is from 2022. Ohio received top ten rankings on three metrics: rural arterial pavement condition, rural fatality rate and capital and bridge disbursement rate. The state's rural arterial highways —two to four-lane highways connecting cities or regions— have the ninth-best pavement condition, with just 0.36% of these roadways in poor condition. Ohio's fatality rate on the state's rural highways is the ninth lowest at a rate of 0.86 deaths per 100 million rural vehicle miles. Ohio's capital and bridge disbursement rate is the sixth lowest at 0.55. The ratio comes from the expected cost of bridge and highway construction divided by the amount Ohio actually spends. A lower ratio means the state manages to complete construction for less money than expected. Ohio received bottom-twenty rankings in three categories: urban interstate pavement condition, urban arterial pavement condition and other fatalities rate. The condition of Ohio's urban interstates came in at rank 32 with 4.15% of these roadways in poor condition. The condition of Ohio's urban arterial roadways —four to eight lane highways that connect different parts of an urban region— came in at rank 36 with 12.88% of these roadways in poor condition. Ohio's fatality rate on "other" roadways —defined by The Reason Foundation as minor arterial, collector and local roads— was ranked 31st at 1.56 deaths per 100 million vehicle road miles on these roadways. Ohio's overall highway performance is better than Kentucky's, Indiana's, Michigan's, West Virginia's and Pennsylvania's, according to The Reason Foundation. When compared to other states with similar population sizes, its highways are worse than Illinois' but better than Georgia's.

Check out the photos of the total lunar eclipse of a full blood moon. Submit your own pics
Early Friday morning, the Earth moved between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface and turning it into a full blood moon. It was quite early in the morning, though. Like 1 a.m. early. If you were fast asleep during the lunar eclipse, do not worry, The Dispatch has you covered. Photojournalist Adam Cairns captured some remarkable shots of the unique lunar event. Take a look at the gallery above or if you are a night owl, submit your own photos of the eclipse below. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth lines up directly between the sun and the moon. The Earth's shadow, called its umbra, falls on the moon. The only light that reaches the moon during a total lunar eclipse is light from the Earth's atmosphere, which projects onto the moon and gives it its reddish hue, USA TODAY previously reported. Read More: Why don't eclipses happen every month? Moon's tilted orbit is the key. Are you one of the sleepy people this morning who stayed up to see the eclipse? We'd love to see your photos.

Getting texts about unpaid tolls? It's probably a scam. How to keep your info safe
A common scam tactic is back and affecting Ohioans. Over the past few weeks, many Ohioans have received text messages saying they have unpaid road tolls and will face penalties or legal action if they go unpaid. Some of these messages even include a link to a fake payment site. These messages come from scammers looking to extract payment and personal information from Ohioans, according to the FTC. The Ohio Turnpike started a new open road tolling system with E-ZPass in April 2024, allowing customers with passes to drive through the toll road without stopping. The new system also brought more toll scam messages to the state. The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission released a fact sheet in August warning Ohioans of the text message scams. It also suspended all late fees, collections and vehicle registration holds for unpaid tolls to give drivers a grace period to adjust to the new toll system. That grace period came to an end in February. The turnpike started issuing late fees for unpaid tolls on Feb. 3 and started sending unpaid tolls to the Ohio Attorney General's office for collection on Feb. 10. Unpaid toll invoices are sent by mail, not by text message. Complicating the matter is the fact that Reliant Capital Solutions, LLC—a debt collector for the Ohio Attorney General's Office—will send texts about unpaid toll debt. If you receive a message about unpaid toll debt, here are some steps the FTC recommends. Don't click on any linksor respond to unexpected texts. Scammers rely on creating a sense of urgency, so take your time to make sure it's real. Check to see if the text is legit. Reach out to the state's tolling agency using a phone number or website you know is real — not the information from the text. The Ohio Turnpike's website is and its E-ZPass website is Its phone number is (440) 971-2222. Report and delete unwanted text messages. Use your phone's 'report junk' option to report unwanted texts to your messaging app or forward them to 7726 (SPAM). Delete the text once it's been reported. If you are victimized by one of these scams, contact the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center and be sure to include the phone number the text came from and the website included in the text. If you clicked the link or made a payment, secure your financial accounts and personal information and dispute any unexpected charges, according to the FBI.
