The request comes as crews continue to clean up downed trees, power lines and debris from Tuesday's tornadoes and storms and some 70,000 or more Cuyahoga County residents remain in the dark. Ronayne's administration has declared a state of emergency for the county.
The county executive sent DeWine's administration a letter asking to waive the $5.9 million threshold of incurred damages and expenses required by the state to make a declaration of emergency. Ronayne's office said the county's Office of Emergency Management has been cataloguing the damages and expects that number to be met soon, but as of Saturday at 1 p.m., the county has not reached the required threshold.
“Our communities need additional resources and funding as they recover from last week’s storms and tornados [sic]. Waiving the threshold requirements will allow us to mobilize even more resources to support cities and communities in need,” Ronayne said.

were the firefighters not looking at the weather software application, that's should be on their cellular telephones, or listening to weather on radio or watching weather channel? like people are paid to track that kind of stuff...especially if a funnel/cyclone, appears to be forming...they track that stuff with barometers and other technological equipment...it's a little different than just looking out of a window...
