Expect a Code Red this afternoon.

UPDATE: FirstEnergy says power may stay out until Sunday.

While portions of Avon Lake have had power return following the remnants of Hurricane Sandy, much of the city is still in the dark.

Following the storm 400 residents were out in Avon and more than 5,000 in Avon Lake.

Mayor Greg Zilka said at noon he had not received a daily update on power outages from FirstEnergy. Avon-Avon Lake Patch has not heard back yet from FirstEnergy's media representative.

“We didn’t receive a 9 a.m. update,” Zilka said. “They are still working. There are still many area of the town without electricity."

Zilka said residents may get an update later this afternoon via Code Red, the reverse 9-1-1 system.
