Following Tuesday night's storms, just under 5,000 First Energy customers in Cuyahoga County are still without power.
The Cleveland Heights area was hit the hardest, as trees and power lines remain down. Although crews are working to catch up with the damage, some residents may not have power until this evening.
Cleveland Heights police say there could still be branches and trees down on some side streets, so people should take caution.
In addition to leaving them without power, the storm also caused severe damage in some places.
