News Center 7 went around Miami County on Thursday and saw damage at a property near Covington, where several trees were down due to the storms. The homeowner said some of the trees had been on the property for more than 100 years.
The storms also caused a large number of power outages. AS reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, Mary Ann Kabel, a spokesperson for AES Ohio, said they had “well over 63,000 customers” impacted by the storm.
AES Ohio had more than 50 crews out fixing power lines Wednesday night. The number of outages dropped by more than 50,000 on Thursday, but still leaves thousands without power at the time of this report.
“What we’re seeing now are the smaller outages, less than 500, less than, you know, 50. Several instances of one customer out at a different location,” Kabel said.
Kabel said AES Ohio crews are working as fast as they can to get the power restored, but could not give an exact timeline.
