There are 8,384 AEP customers without power in Findlay, Ottawa has around 1,700, Bucyrus has 187, and Paulding has 5,671.
Crews expect to have at least 90 percent of the power restored by Saturday night.
AEP is making progress to clear up reports of fallen wires and other hazards across its service territory. Hazard reports currently are at 8,700, down from 11,550.
AEP is asking the public to remain patient while crews work to fix the problems. Anyone who feels they have been missed or there is an area that still needs help can call AEP.
