WSYX said Tuesday that Local 12 weather viewers in Ohio were already sending in wild video clips as waves of storms with gusty downpours moved into the forecast for the next few days. The station pointed people to ChimeIn for photos and videos, but only if they can share them safely.
WSYX and ChimeIn
So far Tuesday, WSYX said it had gotten a few wild video clips. That puts viewers in Ohio in a familiar role during severe weather: not just watching it, but helping document what is happening as it unfolds.
The station said many viewers like to share pictures and videos when severe weather strikes. ChimeIn is the place it named for that material, and the request was simple: send it in if it can be done safely.
Ohio storms this week
The forecast WSYX described is the part that keeps the request relevant. Waves of storms with gusty downpours were expected for the next few days, giving viewers more than one chance to capture weather moving through Ohio.
That also sets the limit on what should be shared. The station invited submissions, but safety comes first, which means anyone trying to film or photograph the weather has to stay clear of risk and wait for a safe moment to use ChimeIn.
Viewers in Ohio
For viewers in Ohio, the practical step is straightforward: keep sending photos and videos through ChimeIn if conditions allow. The coverage suggests the station is actively collecting what people are seeing on the ground while the storms continue.
The open question is which storms produced the clips WSYX had already received. For now, the clearest sign for viewers is that the weather is expected to keep turning up more chances for safe, usable footage over the next few days.
