WKYC has been receiving multiple reports of damage in the Northeast Ohio area following strong thunderstorms and even a possible tornado Saturday afternoon.

Several viewers sharing photos of downed trees and power lines in Akron's Firestone Park. Quarter-sized hail also came pouring down.

More than 9,000 customers across Northeast Ohio were without power at one poing. According to the FirstEnergy, the bulk of the outages were in Summit and Stark Counties, and a smaller number of outages were also reported in Ashland, Cuyahoga, Lake, Portage, and Wayne.

A severe thunderstorm watch was in effect across the bulk of Northeast Ohio until 9 p.m. Saturday night, while Stark and Portage were under a severe thunderstorm warning until 6 p.m. Carroll and Tuscarawas Counties were even under a tornado warning for about a half hour until 5:15 p.m., and more photos show the damage done to Becky Lynn Mobile Home Park in Carrollton.
