(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Several area residents are still without power after severe storms moved through the tri-state overnight. 

Southeastern Indiana REMC is reporting about 930 outages as of Saturday morning. 

Duke Energy initially reported over 25,000 outages on Friday night. 

There are about 1400 customers still without power in Dearborn County. A large segment, 800 plus are between Dillsboro and Aurora along Hwy 50.  

The company issued the following statement:

"The severe storms that swept through Indiana and Ohio last night brought down lines and poles across much of the service area. Ongoing weather activity this morning has hindered the pace of restoration. Once conditions allow, we will begin making the necessary repairs to restore power to everyone affected. In the hardest hit areas, estimated restoration times may be delayed. Thank you for your patience." 

In Lawrenceburg, LMU is working to restore power. There is no ETA at this moment. 

Additionally, some local roads are experiencing high water or flooding. Motorists are reminded to never drive through flooded roads.

There have also been numerous reports of trees downed (various sizes) and power lines down across the tri-state. A train even derailed along U.S. 50.
