FirstEnergy spokeswoman Lauren Siburkis estimated 115,000 people without power as of 9pm Saturday due to severe storms and strong winds. Restoration efforts are expected to take days as crews prioritize clearing downed wires and poles before restoring service. Safety concerns have prevented crews from using bucket trucks to restore power.
