Lose power? These Ohio maps show how widespread an outage is, when electricity will return
How ‘battery islands’ could help keep the lights on during severe weather
After destructive hurricanes led to days of power outages in Florida in 2024, Duke Energy is investing in some unique new backup power sources.
The sweltering temperatures around Ohio are hanging around, and that extreme heat has cut power at times to thousands around the state.
Depending on the electrical service in your area, you can check the latest status of your power outage, how widespread the outage is, an estimated restoration time and more. Ohio residents can draw power from FirstEnergy, Ohio Edison, AEP Ohio, Duke Energy, The Illuminating Co., AES Ohio, Cleveland Public Power and Toledo Edison.
Here’s where to find their power outage maps.

City of Dublin, Ohio unofficially breaks Guinness World Record with human shamrock
An Ohio city appropriately named Dublin had the luck of the Irish on its side this St. Patrick’s Day, unofficially breaking a Guinness World Record by organizing 1,050 people into the shape of a shamrock.
The human shamrock, which took on its verdant hue thanks to the green ponchos worn by participants, was formed immediately following the St. Patrick’s Day parade in the city, located 15 miles northwest of downtown Columbus, and nicknamed “The Other Dublin.”
The record-breaking attempt was hosted by the creative agency Cornett and the tourism group in the city, as per Marketing Communication News.
The impressive feat topped the previous record of 815 participants, set by Dublin, Ireland — though the new mark won’t be official until Guinness certifies it.
