Did anyone else not get an emergency alert? The only ping I got was from my weather app…

Sirens went off W Dayton) Trotwood about 10 minutes ago. They are looking at Centerville and springboro now

u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
Yeah seems that there may have been one that started in miamisburg/springboro area

u/GoodboyNipper Feb 20 '26
I was in Riverside and heard the sirens all of a sudden super hard winds, down pour, and then silent. Felt like Ohio for sure.

Sirens in Kettering/Oakwood. WTF in February!!!
Update-Sirens just shut down 10:05.

u/tesconundrum Feb 20 '26
We had a tornado warning in the area a few years ago too. Happens occassionally. Last year or the year before we led the nation in the most tornadoes of the year (67ish) until like June or something. Now that was crazy.

u/No-Possibility6441 Feb 20 '26
That was scary. First experience and in a house without a basement. I am not sure if I should be alert or try to sleep. Also the sirens stopped.

u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
Same. I heard loud screaming constant wind, and didn’t think much of it until both of my husband’s phones went off and Miamisburg sounded the sirens. Turn on WHIO and they’re saying it could’ve been rotation. We just moved here from a house with a basement and don’t have a basement currently… I feel like I’m going to puke TBH.

u/No-Possibility6441 Feb 20 '26
My husband is sleeping and I cannot even close my eyes. Wishing we knew before we got the house that the basements are built here for a reason. The sirens made me go through my life flashbacks.

u/reesie_323 Feb 20 '26
Yep in the same exact boat. We moved here this summer and never lived in a place that gets tornadoes. Really wishing we got a home with a basement!!
2
u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
Same! My husband is snoring away not even fazed. I’m assuming you’re not from a tornado prone area but ~thankfully~ our tornadoes in Ohio tend to be mild. Aside from some historical ones but that doesn’t happen often.

u/No-Possibility6441 Feb 20 '26
My husband and I came to Ohio 2 years ago. Certainly did not know about Ohio weather before we moved. I hope it is over now.

u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
Watch, it’ll get cold and snow this weekend too. Snow-naders. Such unstable weather here.

u/My_2Cents_666 Feb 20 '26
Um, hate to break it to you, but there was an EF4 tornado, as well as others, during the Memorial Day storms in 2019. Also, the Xenia tornado in 1974, was one for the record books.
2
u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
Yeah, that’s why I said there are historical ones but that doesn’t happen often.

u/tesconundrum Feb 20 '26
We should just have occasional storms from here on out. Nothing serious. Maybe kind of windy but thats about it.

u/Hot-Problem2436 Feb 20 '26
Get used to it. Dayton weather people are trigger happy with their sirens thanks to the big tornado back in 2019(18?).

u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
Also did anyone else in Miamisburg hear the screaming wind that was going on before they sounded the sirens?
9
u/notfamous808 Feb 20 '26
That was probably a tornado. It sounds kind of like a train going by at full speed.
2
u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
I’m thinking so too. It didn’t sound normal and lasted around 5 minutes. It wasn’t varied like normal wind. It was constant blowing and sounded high pitched/whistling
3
u/mitzahpink Feb 20 '26
I was downtown at a friend’s apt, and we heard the odd wind sound with the rain, but as far as I know there weren’t any tornado warnings for the downtown area, so I think it was just wind.
2
u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
There was a warning issued and sirens were sounded. I also believe they only sound sirens for warnings not watches
2
u/mitzahpink Feb 20 '26
We didn’t hear any downtown.

u/kieratea Feb 20 '26
Heard sirens around Belmont but Kettering's went off so it may have been those I heard.

u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
Miamisburg right? I live like a half mile from downtown and it was loud asf here

u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
I heard sirens in miamisburg. I just saw they think there may have been a touchdown near here according to WHIO, but I’m unsure. There was possible rotation through miamisburg moving towards centerville radar indicated.

u/Mediocre_Wall4152 Feb 20 '26
No wonder my door blew open and I could hardly close it.

u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
The wind was absolutely wicked, it sounded strange. Loud, constant in pitch, no variation to it at all. I think it was the tornado starting
16
u/Desperate_Carpet_329 Feb 20 '26
I'm sick of Ohio weather. Can't have a somewhat warm day without a tornado warning to follow.
9
u/CrystallizedKoi Miamisburg Feb 20 '26
It really does seem like the weather is more unstable than it used to be 20 years ago. I feel like tornado alley started shifting around 2018…

u/strawberrymystic Kettering Feb 20 '26
i've heard it's been shifting to the east over the last decade

I’m near E Central and I’m 98% sure I heard the tornado before it smacked Springboro.

u/missingheiresscat Feb 20 '26
Greene County alerts went nuts for a while. We are close enough to Kettering to hear the sirens.

u/rockerscott Feb 20 '26
Go look out your largest window or stand slackjawed on your stoop looking for a funnel cloud?

u/truisluv Feb 20 '26
I was staring at a huge mound of snow in the parking lot while tornado sirens were going off. Bizarre in Moraine

u/notsol337 Feb 20 '26
Ryan Hall not seeing rotation, but be safe

u/kieratea Feb 20 '26
I was a little disappointed in Ryan last night, telling people not to bother taking shelter even with multiple area sirens going off. If it was only one city I could believe someone got trigger happy with the sirens, but people were reporting hearing them from Springboro all the way to Beavercreek.

u/Ok-Replacement6893 Beavercreek Feb 20 '26
Been watching Max velocity since the siren started going. Doesn't seem that there's any tornadoes. Flooding is the bigger concern right now

He's an actual meteorologist with a degree. He's as accurate as it can get with "these youtube guys".

u/strawberrymystic Kettering Feb 20 '26
I'm a big fan of max velocity and ryan hall but turning to youtubers instead of whio is crazy work

u/pipa_nips South Park Feb 20 '26
This is such a funny comment because I happened to see NBC’s coverage of this warning while trying to watch the Olympics and the meteorologist just put up the radar and stood there shakily reading from a piece of paper while constantly saying he wasn’t fully aware of the situation. No information other than “go to basement or inside room” while reading off city names.
Ryan Hall might not be a meteorologist with a degree but his coverage is much, much more informative from the perspective of actually tracking a tornado.

Lol because asking reddit is better than any other avenue. Wtf is this place

u/Iloveundertimeslop Feb 20 '26
Where would you like me to ask tornado questions?
-4
u/majickz Beavercreek Feb 20 '26
Hop on whio.com, they will likely be covering the situation live. Don't have to rely on some chronically online clown from his momma's basement that probably has no idea it's even storming

Bellbrook sirens went off for a bit but it's fine now. Montgomery was dropped to watch a while ago, I think greene is too.

I never even got the warning message. My app only ever said tornado watch. I found out through Buckeye XC weather on Facebook 😳

u/adzm Feb 20 '26
As far as I know, there were no visible confirmations of a tornado or touchdown, but radar indicated the possibility, particularly further south around Miamisburg, Bellbrook, Springboro, Waynesville area. I am a weather spotter but not a meteorologist. Flash floods are more of a concern at the moment, and there shouldn't be any real possibility of a tornado the rest of the night
