Crews are on scene at both sites and electric service for those affected areas is expected to be restored between 9:30 and 10 p.m., said Kelly Millhouse, DP&L operations director.
In Greene County, trees in ground made soft because the rain in the area fell onto a span of wires in the Yellow Springs and Clifton areas, cutting off power to 207 customers about 5 p.m., she said.
In Montgomery County, a broken brace on a pole that holds a span of wires in the air failed in Vandalia sometime after 3:30 p.m., causing an outage for 31 customers in an area that extends to Barbarosa Drive and Fairsmith Avenue in Harrison Twp., Millhouse said.
