WARREN — A powerful windstorm swept through Warren and the rest of Trumbull County late Sunday, contributing to widespread power outages that left about 84,000 customers across Northeast Ohio in the dark.

The affected areas included 51,000 Ohio Edison customers and 33,000 served by the Illuminating Company.

As of Monday afternoon, dozens of customers in Trumbull County remained without power, according to data provided by the utility company. The majority of outages in Mahoning County were resolved, but outages impacted a few hundred residents.

FirstEnergy woman Hannah Catlett noted that crews were working to restore service to the remaining affected customers.

Restoration efforts are ongoing, with the majority of customers expected to have power restored before 4 p.m. today.

Catlett said crews have worked since the storm, reducing the number of affected customers to 10,000 by Monday morning. A “global” restoration target remains in place for this afternoon, with individualized restoration times being updated on the company’s outage map.

Kayla Cogley, of Perkinswood Boulevard NW, lives in one of the hardest-hit areas, where outage maps showed more than 300 customers consolidated within several blocks were without power Monday afternoon.

“It scared the crap out of me,” said Cogley, who is nine months pregnant and has a 9-year-old child at home. “I had to call my mom to move all my freezer and refrigerator food to her house to keep it fresh. Now I’m at her house charging everything because my husband needs his phone alarm for work tomorrow.”

Other areas across Trumbull County also faced outages. In Southington, a downed tree caused outages affecting approximately 180 customers.

For Danielle Clisby, of Merriweather Street NW, the prolonged outage created logistical and financial challenges. Without power since 9 p.m. Sunday, Clisby expressed frustration over the delays in restoration.

“I’ve been without power for over 12 hours, and it’s not just about me. I’m worried about the people around me, families with children, elderly neighbors and others who need electricity for essential purposes,” Clisby said.

As a single-income household, Clisby shared concerns about replacing spoiled food from her refrigerator and freezers. “Filing a claim on homeowners insurance isn’t worth the deductible, so I’m left to struggle even more.”

FirstEnergy said crews worked through Sunday night into Monday to prioritize areas with critical needs and restore power as quickly as possible.

“This was a significant storm event, and our teams have been working tirelessly to restore power to our customers,” Catlett said.
