CINCINNATI — More than 3,000 people are still without power around the Tri-State following severe weather and heavy rain from Friday, Duke Energy reports.
"Our line crews are actively assessing damage from ongoing storm activity and making repairs in places where weather conditions allow," Duke Energy said in a statement Friday evening to customers.
While the severe weather may be gone, strong winds remained overnight into Saturday as a High Wind Warning was in effect until 4 a.m.
"These gusty conditions create safety hazards for our technicians, temporarily preventing them from raising hydraulic buckets needed for overhead line repairs," Duke Energy said. "As these severe winds weaken and heavy rains subside, the pace of our outage restoration will accelerate."
In Ohio, the majority of outages are in the eastern part of our viewing area, which saw a Tornado Warning. There are hundreds without power near the Bethel and Amelia areas in Clermont County. There are a couple hundred people dealing with outages just south of Indian Hill, as well.
Over on Cincinnati's west side, there are a few hundred without power in the White Oak area.
The estimated time of restoration for these outages are ranging depending on the area.
