AEP Crews Fighting the Elements to Restore Power - WTRF 7 News Sports Weather - Wheeling Steubenville

It's been a full week since a powerful storm, known as a "derecho", tore its way across the country and AEP crews are still working to restore power.

Crews continue to work around the clock to try to restore power to customers as quickly and safely as possible. It has not been an easy week to do that with more severe weather and now the heat wave that is sweeping the area causing additional problems.

So far they have restored power to most of their customers but there are still thousands that remain without.
