My parents are in Columbus and they just got their power back on last night (had been out since Friday). They weren't expected to have it back on until the 7th, so the power company was a bit ahead of schedule I guess.

My siblings and I ended up putting them in a hotel on Saturday- no reason two people in their 70s should be in a house without power in 100 degree heat for five days...

SE Part of Ohio here...some friends of ours still do not have power and AEP is quoting Sunday or even as late as Tuesday of next well. Thankfully is has been raining here all morning and that has kept the temps down.
