Severe weather hit the News 5 viewing area Wednesday afternoon into the evening, and it brought plenty of watches and warnings with it.
Earlier, a Tornado Warning was issued for Ashland, Holmes, Trumbull, Portage and Richland counties, all of which expired by 7:45 p.m.
News 5's Mark Johnson said two tornadoes touched down Wednesday evening in Northeast Ohio. One was located in Portage County, and the other one was in Trumbull County.
Previously, there was a Tornado Watch issued until midnight for several counties across Northeast Ohio; however, it was canceled around 8:50 p.m.

What to expect
We'll see radar starting to light up west of Cleveland starting at about 3 p.m. Those storms building east and eventually out of Ohio around 10 p.m. That means be alert from 3 to 10 p.m. as you're out and about trying to enjoy Wednesday's warmth.
Mark Johnson will be tracking these storms as they build west of Cleveland starting mid-afternoon.
They'll track east and eventually out of Ohio before midnight before completely drying out overnight.
Chilly air rushing in to finish the work week.
