Power outages affected thousands across Northeast Ohio Tuesday night amid extreme heat.
While most power has been restored, several thousand customers were still experiencing outages as of 10:20 p.m.
The most affected areas were Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, Portage, Lorain and Summit counties, with over 18,000 customers without power across the state around 8 p.m.
FirstEnergy said restoration would be between 9:30 and 11 p.m.
These outages came as Northeast Ohio is experiencing temperatures that feel like triple digits.
Cleveland Public Power said service interruptions could be caused by equipment working harder during periods of sustained high demand.
