WOOD COUNTY, Ohio — The Wood County Sheriff's Office is advising drivers to avoid Fremont Pike near Luckey Road and a portion of Cummings Road in Lake Township due to downed power lines Thursday evening.
The portion of Fremont Pike near Luckey Road is closed to all traffic, the sheriff's office said in an advisory.
Cummings Road between Hanley and Latcha roads is also closed until further notice, according to the Lake Township Fire Department.
The power lines were downed as thunderstorms sweep through northwest Ohio Thursday evening and night.
Increasing heat and humidity levels will fuel isolated thunderstorms Thursday evening, and a few storms may pack a punch with heavy downpours and gusty winds.
The greatest risk of a strong to severe storm will occur along the Lake Erie shoreline from Monroe to Port Clinton and Sandusky.
