A severe thunderstorm warning was allowed to expire as the storms moved off to the east after 10:30 p.m.

Rainfall was measured at just under one-half inch on the west side of Bowling Green.

As of 7 a.m. Sunday Ohio Energy reported 92 customers in Wood County without power. AEP indicated no customers with problems in Wood County but hundreds of outages in Hancock, Putnam and Allen counties. More rain was expected this morning.

Traffic was slowed on U.S. 6 east of Bowling Green between Ohio 199 north and south because of a tree blocking one lane.

Problems with electric poles and low wires were reported along Mermill Road between Wingston and Potter roads.

A food stand near the Administration Building on the fairgrounds was damaged by the wind.
