The Only in Ohio phrase grew on TikTok and other short video platforms in the early 2020s as a caption for anything bizarre, broken or exaggerated, often paired with dramatic music and disaster footage. Thunder and rain clips became a natural fit, because a loud storm sells the joke that even the weather in Ohio is extreme. This version has circulated as a short soundboard clip, reused in edits, livestreams and reaction videos whenever a creator needs instant storm atmosphere with a meme meaning attached.
