CLEVELAND, OH — More than 45,000 Northeast Ohioans woke up Monday morning without power. Powerful storms that swept through the region Sunday night brought down trees and power lines alike, leaving an extensive trail of damage.

According to power company FirstEnergy's outages map, more than 45,000 Northeast Ohioans were without power Monday morning. Nearly all of the listed outages were caused by the weekend's inclement weather. The energy company is saying it expects to restore power to impacted customers by Monday night. However, FirstEnergy is also saying it may not restore power to some areas until Wednesday at 6 p.m.
