MAHONING VALLEY, Ohio - At one point Friday night, more than 25,000 homes and businesses were without power across the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys.

As of 11:30 p.m. Friday, according to FirstEnergy's Ohio Outages Map, 1,167 are still without power in Mahoning County, 4,073 in Trumbull County, and 2,622 in Columbiana County. On AEP's Ohio Outage Map, an additional 4,525 in Columbiana County are without power.

Primarily in Northeast Ohio, more than 11 percent, about two million First Energy customers, are without power due to weather conditions.

According to FirstEnergy's Pennsylvania Outages Map, there have also been 2,635 reported outages in Mercer County and 2,533 outages reported in Lawrence County.

As of the publication of this story, there are no restoration times for all the counties mentioned above.

High winds, some gusting over 50 mph, caused a tree on McKinley Street NE in Warren to fall on a vacant house (pictured above) and created substantial damage to the corner of its roof.

In Newton Falls, Foster MetroPark is closed for the weekend until a tree that is blocking a road (also pictured above) is cleaned up, according to Zachary Svette, Executive Director of Trumbull County MetroParks. Svette hopes to have the tree removed early next week to reopen the road and the park.

Drivers are cautioned to travel safely, as trees could fall and block roadways and possibly bring wires down. Also, traffic signals may not be operating; therefore, the intersection becomes a four-way stop for drivers.
