Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 19, 7,878 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 2 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 1.9 days), and we publish the misses. See the full record (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.

Does this page show North Canton specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for North Canton we have the city-level view: AEP Ohio and FirstEnergy have published outages for North Canton under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-17. When North Canton is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Stark County county-wide total shown separately as context.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
