    Jeremy Baiman (@jeremybaiman) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    Another power outage on the south side. Hey @AEPOhio could we get some infrastructure upgrades or did that budget get moved to the “state legislature bribes” line item?

  • nw3
    Nick Walker (@nw3) reported from Bexley, Ohio

    @Bryan_Vehonsky @AEPOhio It sounds like this was a planned blackout or they can’t restore power until temps come down?

  • ceb3_
    charity (@ceb3_) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    Got off 30 minutes late because our outpatient facility has no power again! Had to call 31 people to reschedule important testing. Thanks @AEPOhio !

    Rob C (@RobFromSoCal) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @AEPOhio when attempting to check status of outage for me /my neighborhood, I get this. And have been for past hour plus? We're sorry. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. We are working to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Please try again later.

    Second time in four hours that my power has gone out. @AEPOhio what ********

  • BeccaPollard
    Bee-Kept (@BeccaPollard) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    Marc Reitter says 14% of AEP customers get mobile alerts. What is @aepohio doing to get urgent info out to customers who can’t afford to keep their phones turned on or don’t have cell phones? #PWRlessAEP

  • SteedLynne
    Lynne Warner-Steed (@SteedLynne) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @AEPOhio your map shows just a few customers without power in my area, but it looks like my entire 200 unit condo complex off Sancus is affected.

  • rickdiculous23
    🕶 Rickdiculous 🐝🍷 (@rickdiculous23) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @AEPOhio I moved to my new house less than 3 weeks ago and this is the 3rd power outage we’ve experienced. What is going on in east Columbus that keeps making this happen?

  • jeremybaiman
    Jeremy Baiman (@jeremybaiman) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @SenatorMeow @AEPOhio Cool. Thanks power company that has plenty of money to bribe legislators but not to maintain a functioning grid! Full public ownership of utilities when?

  • MounirLynch
    Mounir 🪬 (@MounirLynch) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @AEPOhio you’re gonna start notifying people when you cut off their power first, right? I know you’re not obligated to provide customer service since you monopolize the entire area, but there’s gotta be some lessons learned here?

  • WiddowsonJake
    kimmy vicky 🥺 (@WiddowsonJake) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @AEPOhio my power out AGAIN. really hope we’re able to slap your incompetent asses with a class action lawsuit or something smh

  • AllieDumski
    Allie Dumski (@AllieDumski) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @oneilohio @AEPOhio I’ll have to use my first $5 bet to get the free $200 in promos to pay our already outrageous bill (especially considering this service) - that they want to increase.

  • jahykes
    John Hykes (@jahykes) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @AEPOhio Hey, we're not shown on the map and still down in Hilliard.

  • MounirLynch
    Mounir 🪬 (@MounirLynch) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @RobDorans @AEPOhio Meanwhile their CEO makes millions of dollars per annum but they can’t afford to maintain power. AEP are murderous pigs

  • jeremywsyx6
    Jeremy Edwards (@jeremywsyx6) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    JUST IN: Got this alert on my phone just moments ago. @AEPOhio is asking Businesses and the public to safely reduce electrical usage until 10:00 am Dec 25, 2022 in Franklin County, Ohio to help ensure adequate power supply.

  • 2426chris
    Pollo Ralph Lauren (@2426chris) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @AEPOhio doesn’t care about poor or minority areas of Columbus. While the wealthier parts already have an estimated time for restoring power, the other areas they’re “Assessing condition”

  • nirradical
    nirRADICAL (@nirradical) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @sdfavor @AEPOhio Wow I worked for AEP 5 years and never even knew about this! Are you sure claims would be valid? I could see them denying... We are not responsible for unpredictable or preventative damages such as: Line failures High Winds Acts of God Causes beyond the control of the company

  • LastByzantine
    Collin ἐγὼ εἰμί 🧦🥑 (@LastByzantine) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    I know the crews are working hard but @AEPOhio it’s not cool that it’s 6 hours and I’ve heard *nothing* about my outage. Map says nothing helpful.

    @AEPOhio Still no power in Hilliard what’s the update, website sucks

  • strockweiler
    Pervis Strockweiler (@strockweiler) reported

    @AEPOhio 70mph? No one anywhere was reporting 70 mile an hour winds as a possibility. Except AEP Ohio. Nothing like exaggerating by a factor of three in order to cover your ***. Maybe improve the grid. And you wouldn’t have to lie to set expectations for power outages.

  • beth_philley
    Beth Philley (@beth_philley) reported

    @limitlessmp3 @AEPOhio If you're not aware, you can go to their website and click on an interactive map to get an approximate time of restoration and possibly a cause for the outage.

  • PACPatriot
    Patriot PAC (@PACPatriot) reported

    @AEPOhio No one saw this coming for the picture on the right. @AEPOhio is required to maintain the area around its distribution power lines. That they charge central Ohioans millions for. Totally negligent.

  • PlushieMoo0

    @IsThatZAE @AEPOhio oh they don’t do ****. i tried.

  • limitlessmp3

    @AEPOhio power has been out for over 24 HOURS. FIX IT.

  • hearts4mych3m
    ivy ⑦ | mcr detroit | mcr cbus (@hearts4mych3m) reported

    @AEPOhio y’all have been “assessing” my power for six hours.

  • republic_keep
    tara (@republic_keep) reported

    @AEPOhio @Th3M00se there are no updates, that's the problem. everywhere you click on the outage map it just says assessing with no ETA. so no crews have reported back? it's been over 12 hrs for me. i get there's a lot but there seems to be a disconnect somewhere.

  • nickellfarm
    Duane Nickell (@nickellfarm) reported

    @AEPOhio App crashed. Website crashed. No estimate of power restoration. No routine maintenance of problematic vegetation. Reduced workforce. Historically high transmission charges. Yet my bill is auto paid flawlessly.

  • GaryEugene56
    Gary Eugene (@GaryEugene56) reported

    @AEPOhio It's 32° out. My electric has been out since 5:00 p.m. yesterday and not one ******* update from you people. And all you guys want to do is raise everybody's rates 🖕
