Story on WKBN - OE says the power outages are due to issues beyond their control like car accidents and wind.  Austintown trustees are having a public meeting on Monday, Feb 28, to address the issue.


What are Lauren McNally and Mike Ray doing about it?


Story of WFMJ - OE has found a defective piece of equipment in the substation and hope to have it fixed in a few days.

If you think it's bad now just watch what happens as local electric vehicle ownership goes up.

It went off and on at least 5 times between 8:30 and midnight at our house.


Ohio Edison is blaming it on a tree bringing down a power line.  One tree cutting power to 8,000 customers?


I am also getting annoyed with the frequent one minute outages that mess up the electronics in the house.

And then the power went out again a few minutes later.

There was another power outage on portions of the west side tonight.  It started around 8:30 p.m. and lasted for an hour.

This was the fifth power outage in the last month.
