Update: Power Restored in Cleveland Heights

Updated 11 a.m. Tuesday: Power is now back on after an outage around rush hour yesterday left about 1,100 residents in the dark. 

Mark Durbin, spokesperson for FirstEnergy, said a faulty feeder cable at a substation caused the outage, not weather. 

"The system is usually very reliable, but once in awhile something happens," Durbin said. "We had 730 customers restored in about two hours, and then the final 431 restored probably in about two and a half hours." 

Lights at the intersections of Cedar and Coventry and Cedar and Grandview were not operating during the outage, which was primarily in Cleveland Heights. 

The power went out around 5:40 p.m., leaving businesses in the Cedar Fairmount district in the dark. 

Some Cedar Road Starbucks patrons stuck around when the music stopped and the lights dimmed, hoping that power would come back soon, but started to disperse after they saw that businesses on the same side of the street were out, too. The lights at Dave's Supermarket and other businesses across the street were on.
