Ohio's outage risk comes from severe weather across every season rather than one dominant hazard: summer derecho and severe-thunderstorm wind events can knock out power across wide swaths of the state, tornado-corridor risk is present statewide but concentrated in western and southwestern Ohio, and winter ice storms and Lake Erie lake-effect snow squalls create their own extended-outage risk across northern Ohio, particularly around Cleveland.
