Outages have climbed two weeks running, 0 to 12. Water issues rose. Road, construction and transit have held steady.

In the week of Oct 25, outages ran four times a normal week. Wednesday Oct 28 was the worst of it, with about 619 customers out at once around 3:15 PM, across 6 ZIPs.

Measured from 12 counted outages, and 619 out together at the worst moment of Wednesday.

Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.

Where Cleveland was hit this week

What the map says

Tap a row to see it on the map.

Areas are measured from Public Square in downtown Cleveland: within 2 miles is Downtown Cleveland, within 10 miles (about where I-480 and I-271 run) is that side of Cleveland, and beyond that is the metro. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown Cleveland, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. The areas are the incorporated cities and villages in the Cleveland area from the Census Bureau's limits. Cleveland's own council wards are not drawn yet. Unincorporated townships are not drawn and are shown on the metro map.
