FirstEnergy is calling storms that hit Northeast Ohio on Tuesday the most impactful to hit their service territory in more than 30 years.
Heavy downpours and strong winds took down power lines and utility poles across the region Tuesday evening. Several tornadoes have been confirmed with winds exceeding 100 miles per hour.
Customers in several Northeast Ohio counties shouldn’t expect to have power again until sometime next week.
Cuyahoga County’s restoration window, however, has been bumped up from Thursday, Aug. 15, to Wednesday, Aug. 14. Similarly, Lake County’s is also Wednesday, Aug. 14, sooner than previously anticipated.
