As of 7:30 a.m., AES Ohio is reporting 1,451customers are without power, according to the AES Ohio outage map.

This includes:

• Montgomery County- 884
• Greene County- 336
• Clinton County- 116
• Warren County- 50
• Clark County- 8
• Darke County- 1
• Preble County- 1

AES Ohio told News Center 7 that they were prepared to deal with the outages after the storm. We also asked them about staffing with Hurricane Helene hitting other parts of the country.

“We were called up for the hurricane when it was approaching Florida. We put in our name, but we were not called up,” said Mary Ann Kabel. “So, with our crews here, we too needed assistance -- crews were not readily available.”

AES Ohio is now focused on smaller, isolated more complicated repairs.

We will update this story.
