More Mahoning and Shenango Valley residents getting power restored

The power outage has subsided since Monday and crews are still working to restore electric in Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

On Monday, 41,700 customers were without power in Mahoning County and as of 8:30 p.m. Wednesday that number was down to 1,500.

Other counties are as follows: Columbiana, 8,000; Trumbull, 2,500; Lawrence, 5,000; and Mercer, 3,000.

Workers are now dealing with the areas where terrain is more difficult, which makes the jobs more time consuming, said Paul Harkey, Mahoning County area manager for Ohio Edison.

Those customers still without power are mainly single customers or lines that serve no more than five customers.

All power is expected to be restored by the weekend, Harkey said.
