CLEVELAND — In the aftermath of severe thunderstorms in Northeast Ohio on Thursday, thousands of homes are without power as of Saturday morning.
According to FirstEnergy, as of 11:11 a.m. on Saturday, just over 2,000 customers are without power, with the majority in Cuyahoga County. Here is how the outages break down by county:
- Cuyahoga - 1,541

Severe storms moved their way through most of Northeast Ohio on Thursday evening, battering the area with high winds, hail, and plenty of rainfall.
While parts of Medina, Wayne, and Stark Counties were under a tornado warning during the storm, other areas contended with flooding. The central portion of Cuyahoga County was under a flash flood warning for several hours. The high water made for difficult traffic conditions in certain areas.
