Power's back on for some of us; life's not quite back to normal as storm cleanup continues

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, July 1, 2012

Ada and many midwesterns took a history course this weekend. We lived like pioneers. Many are still roughing it. The history lesson reminded was how our great-great grandparents lived without electricity, air conditioning, telephone service, internet service, freezers and many other wonders of the 21st century.

In Ada shortly around 4 p.m., Friday, June 28, the wrath of Mother Nature struck with high winds - some speculating 85 miles per hour - and torrents of rain.

AEP warns of severe weather pattern

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, June 29, 2012

AEP's East Utilities will be in an active severe weather pattern late today through the weekend. The combination of unstable air, a stalled front, and several upper-level disturbances moving along the front will result in the severe storms.  Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon over Illinois.

These storms may develop into a complex of severe storms - or even a squall line with widespread damaging winds - as they track across Indiana & Ohio this evening into tonight.  If a squall line does develop...a significant outage event will be possible,
especially for AEP Ohio.
