LAKE COUNTY -- FirstEnergy crews are restoring power to those hit hard by the early October snowfall.

The company's website says around 19,582 are without power as of Thursday evening at 11:15 p.m.

The majority of outages are in Cuyahoga and Geauga counties.

An additional 150 crews from FirstEnergy Corp utilities Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison, Penelec and West Penn Power are expected to arrive in the hardest hit areas throughout the day to assist with the restoration process.

The weight of the "lake effect" snow - combined with leaves still being on the trees - has resulted in numerous tree limbs and branches falling into CEI equipment and wires, causing service interruptions.

The majority of customers currently without power are expected to be restored by Friday, if not sooner, based on current weather conditions.

FirstEnergy says that you can report an outage through an app available for Apple iPhones and Android phones, using the search term "FirstEnergy."

The priority for restoration starts with emergency services, including hospitals, police, and fire.

Repairs are scheduled based on restoring the most people the fastest. In areas with severe damage, it may require repairs in multiple locations to restore power to one location.
