CINCINNATI — Duke Energy is continuing to repair downed wires, poles and more as the Tri-State deals with high winds Saturday.
As of Saturday evening, fewer than 5,000 residents were without power in the Tri-State. At it's highest, there was almost 15,000 people without power.
The power outages came due to high winds as a majority of the Tri-State was under Wind Advisory until 6 p.m. The strong wind was a result of severe weather that swept through the area Friday overnight into Saturday. The Tri-State had several Severe Thunderstorm Warnings with 60+ mph winds.
Majority of the outages were in Northern Kentucky and Clermont County.
Villa Hills saw signficant issues, as well as out east in Felicity and New Richmond. Other Tri-State neighborhoods like Springdale had hundreds of people without power.
Duke had various estimated times of restoration as crews continued to assess damage throughout the day.
