Icy, wind, rain cause power lines to go down

Freez­ing rains and high winds knocked down power lines yes­ter­day between Antwerp and Payne. Ohio 49 was closed while ODOT crews work to clear the poles. There were power out­ages due to the wind and rain. Some scat­tered out­ages in West Unity in Williams County were reported, and in Hol­gate in Henry County last evening. In Paul­ing County, the south­ern part of the county had about a dozen cus­tomers in the dark.
