If you think you hearing tornado sirens Wednesday morning, you’re right.

Tornado sirens will sound all over Ohio at 9:50 a.m. Wednesday as part of a statewide tornado drill, according to a news release from the Stark County Emergency Management Agency.

The drill is part of Ohio’s Severe Weather Awareness Week, which started Sunday and runs through Saturday.

Tornadoes are the result of severe storms preceded by heavy rain or large hail, according to the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness’ website. Peak season for tornadoes in Ohio is April through July, usually between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m., although they can occur at any time of the year, the website said.

Last year, 31 tornados were reported in Ohio. The majority occurred in June, when 10 were reported, the website said. Another nine followed in July.

The records also show that in 2011, a tornado was reported in February and 18 followed in April. In all of 2011, there were 37.

Only 13 were reported in all of 2012.
