Nearly 3,000 Duke Energy customers in Ohio and Kentucky are still without power after Friday night's storms.

As of Saturday morning, Warren County had the bulk of the outages, with more than 10,000 customers without power. Power was restored to thousands of customers by Saturday afternoon, but areas like Georgetown and Cincinnati's Roselawn neighborhood are still experiencing high outage numbers.

At the storm's peak, more than 27,000 customers lost power as severe thunderstorms — some strong enough to produce tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service — rolled through Cincinnati and surrounding cities in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
