Power outage

Storms tore through Northeast Ohio Wednesday night, leaving many residents with downed trees and no power. Crews are still working on repairs in and around Cleveland. Winds as high as 66 mph were measured near Oregon, Ohio, in Lucas County, according to the National Weather Service Cleveland. There were estimated wind gusts as high as 80 mph near Avon Lake and Sheffield Lake, the NWS said.

A listener wondered if Ohio's power grid might be vulnerable to an outage as severe as Texans experienced in February. The state's public utilities commission says there are a number of provisions in place to guard against that.
