Thousands of residents are still without power across the Tri-State as the remnants of Hurricane Helene roll through the area.

The outages come after the region was under a High Wind Warning until 10 p.m. Friday, with gusts of up to 60 miles per hour amid a soaking rain. At its peak, more than 125,000 people were without power.

The majority of early outages Friday were located in the eastern portion of our region. As the storm continued to travel, more outages popped up in the northern part of the Tri-State, including Springboro, Lebanon and Middletown.

In a statement Sunday, Duke Energy said it has restored power for more than 100,000 customers.

"With a significant number of lineworkers, tree trimmers and other support personnel on the ground working to restore service – the company expects nearly all customers to be restored by [Sunday night]," Duke Enegy said.
