More Than 4,500 People Without Power In Westlake

WESTLAKE, OH — More than 4,600 people are without power on Wednesday morning in Westlake. Another 2,000 people are without power in Bay Village.

FirstEnergy said it has sent crews to investigate the outages, but no cause has yet been determined. The company expects power to be restored for the majority of customers by 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Luckily for those without power, the humidity and heat have abated some on Wednesday morning. The remnants of Tropical Storm Barry are expected to soak Northeast Ohio throughout the day, and overcast skies have greeted most residents.
