​

Good morning, Pickaway County. Batten down the hatches, central Ohio! Mother Nature is flexing her muscles today with a level 2 severe weather threat headed our way. The evening commute could get dicey as two rounds of storms roll through starting between 3-4pm, bringing damaging winds and potentially over an inch of rain. Keep those weather alerts handy as you navigate the afternoon.

In brighter news, Ohio Christian University president R.D. Saunders has officially joined the Circleville Noon Rotary, bringing his 22 years of pastoral experience to an organization 22 million members strong. Meanwhile, Columbus-founded restaurant chain Rusty Bucket is closing its Liberty Center location next month, marking another strategic shift for parent company Cameron Mitchell Restaurants as they eye expansion opportunities in Florida and new dining concepts elsewhere.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
