Crews from Ohio Edison are working to repair power lines and restore full service. Cedar Point and Soak City are expected to resume normal operations on Tuesday, Clark said.
FIRST REPORT
Cedar Point is closing early after a severe thunderstorm with high winds damaged power lines on the Cedar Point Causeway, which is closed.
The park, which sustained a partial power outage, will close at 7 p.m. while Ohio Edison crews work to restore power, said Cedar Point spokesman Tony Clark.
The Erie County Sheriff’s Office said crews are working to keep residents safe after down wires are reported throughout Sandusky, with cars in a Cedar Point parking lot trapped behind the causeway, CBS affiliate WTOL-TV in Toledo reported.
Clark said park visitors still have access to the Chaussee (Cedar Point Road).
