The ridge axis in 2012 was further south across Kentucky to the Carolinas. As a result, our area was in a more favorable area for EMLs to advect east, and to steer mid level impulses into said EML in our area. You can see that on the Wilmington, OH sounding (https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/events/20120629/soundings/12062918_SNDG/). There was 6,800 SBCAPE ahead of that with a mid level lapse rate of over 8°c/km! We are almost assured to not be even in the ball park this time.
