Power crews say service has been restored to most of the 70-thousand people who lost power following a series of storms that hit Ohio on Wednesday. 36-thousand Central Ohioans lost service, as did 34-thousand people in Southwest Ohio. The outages came a few weeks after a series of powerful storms knocked out electricity for hundreds of thousands of Ohioans facing a heat wave.
