Indiana Borough is next with 173 outages reported, followed by Center Township with 156.

REA Energy reports that 38 of its cooperative members are without power, with most of them in North and West Mahoning Townships, with 11 outages in each area. Rayne, Green, Center, Canoe and White Townships are also reporting outages this morning.
