I didn’t feel it as we were driving in the car. My husband felt the earthquake in Akron, Ohio. He thought someone was behind him pushing his chair! If you felt the quake, report it at the Ohio Seismic website.

The National Weather Service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Summit County, OH until 4:45pm. We just got home from the nasty weather where I could hardly see the roads – the flooded, branch filled roads!
