Right now thousands of homes and businesses are still without power and some could be left in the cold until Saturday.
It's been two days since strong, gusty winds pushed through the area, knocking down trees and power lines all over Northeast Ohio.
In fact, about 3,500 homeowners were still sitting in the dark in Cuyahoga County alone Friday morning.

As cold air moves in for the weekend, residents are hoping their electricity will be back up and running soon.
It's causing problems on the roads as well.
