New numbers are in, and Ohio is leading the pack.

Unfortunately, it's not a race we want to win.

We're talking about tornadoes.

EF-0 and EF-1 tornadoes, to be specific.

The numbers for the nation are way below normal, but Ohio is trying to buck the trend.

We're leading the country with 38 tornadoes.

There was a day in March when Ohio had eight tornadoes.
