I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
I would say you are NOT crazy! Best guess on what you saw is "ball lightning". Here is some material for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

Hi, Darrien. I'm in Texas and don't really follow specific forecasts in Ohio. You might try one of your local television station websites or weather.gov.

Won't have time to answer on your timeframe. You might try some web searches like, "what does a television meteorologist do?". Good luck!

Well...interesting question. I'm going to say mostly perception since any number of folks have said the same thing about their town. I suppose you would have to go back and plot historical rainfall data to see if there really was a "hole" in coverage over the city. Cool question, thanks!

Great question, Emily. Tornadoes are a part of the parent thunderstorm that moves and develops with the environmental winds and available moisture. The ones you saw were likely in an area of weak steering currents. Thanks

Hi, Rob. I think, one day, most certainly, yes. Many would argue that we already have via global warming/climate change. I haven't picked a side on that issue, but we will certainly contine to do things to try and affect the weather. Experiments have been proposed to stop tornadoes in their path, and reduce the strength of hurricanes before landfall. We will need to be careful, weather is part of a planetary system and fooling around with that system could have unintended consequences. Great question, thanks!

Thanks for asking. Was always interested in clouds and the sky and when I began to study and learn how much was going on up there I just kept going. Take care!
