Trees are down on primary lines in the area of Research Park Drive in Beavercreek, Dayton Power & Light spokeswoman Mary Ann Kabel said. Crews are on scene, she said.
She said that earlier today, a fallen tree that hit power lines in Troy took out 3,300 customers. Crew have since corrected that issue, Kabel said.
Some of the trees that have fallen didn’t hit power lines, but are causing upset nonetheless. One such tree felled by high winds was on Plumwood Road in Oakwood.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington reports there have been dozens of reports in the region of winds registering more than 30 mph in the past 12 hours.

Winds have been reported as strong as 46 mph at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and at Dayton International Airport, 44 mph at Middletown's Hook Field and Springfield-Beckley Airport, 41 mph at Darke Count Airport, according to the weather service.
