Here are the latest power outages from Appalachian Power as of noon Tuesday. The next update is expected at 8:30 Tuesday night. Restoration estimates haven't changed since the last update. Boone County, WV 6,823 Cabell County, WV 17,198 Clay County, WV 1,736 Fayette County, WV 21,750 Greenbrier County, WV 5,141 Jackson County, WV 5,459 Kanawha County, WV 49,990 Lincoln County, WV 3,883 Logan County, WV 9,799 Mason County, WV 8,331 McDowell County, WV 6,235 Mercer County, WV 8,510 Mingo County, WV 8,176 Monroe County, WV 944 Nicholas County, WV 1,737 Putnam County, WV 11,211 Raleigh County, WV 21,473 Roane County, WV 246 Summers County, WV 1,624 Wayne County, WV 8,323 Wyoming County, WV 6,018 ----------------------- Hundreds of thousands are still without power Tuesday following Friday's severe storm that produced winds of up to 75 miles per hour. More than 214,000 Appalachian Power customers in WV are still in the dark, while about 129,000 Mon Power customers also remain without power. Appalachian Power's President says the storm was so widespread that it has been difficult to get extra resources into the state to help. Crews have had to come from states like North Dakota and Texas. Many arrived Sunday night but they are expected to arrive throughout the week. The other major issue is with the power grid. Appalachian Power had more than 60 transmission lines damaged, those are the lines huge lines that connect the nation and carry electricity from the power plants and distribute it to the various sub-stations. Those are a first priority, because if the transmission lines aren't working, the supply lines that are down all throughout the region, will be powerless even if they are fixed. Here are the latest estimates from Appalachian Power on when the power will be restored: Friday night, July 6 - Greenbrier, McDowell, Mercer, Monroe, Putnam and Summers Counties. Saturday night, July 7 – Boone, Cabell, Jackson, Lincoln, Logan, Mason, Mingo and Wayne Counties. Sunday night, July 8 - Clay, Kanawha, Fayette, Nicholas, Raleigh, Roane and Wyoming Counties. And here is a county by county break-down from Appalachian Power on the outages. These numbers are as of 9:30am Tuesday. Boone County, WV 6,499 Cabell County, WV 19,138 Clay County, WV 1,734 Fayette County, WV 21,933 Greenbrier County, WV 5,157 Jackson County, WV 5,373 Kanawha County, WV 54,355 Lincoln County, WV 3,918 Logan County, WV 10,208 Mason County, WV 8,314 McDowell County, WV 7,365 Mercer County, WV 8,877 Mingo County, WV 8,156 Monroe County, WV 1,146 Nicholas County, WV 2,328 Putnam County, WV 11,110 Raleigh County, WV 21,583 Roane County, WV 246 Summers County, WV 1,624 Wayne County, WV 9,366 Wyoming County, WV 5,999 The next update is expected at 11:30am Tuesday.
