The following message was sent to partners and customers of Design Engineering Inc. (DEI), where recent weather damage is causing ongoing power outages:
“On the afternoon of Tuesday, Aug. 6, northeastern Ohio and particularly the city of Avon Lake where DEI is located, experienced a volatile thunderstorm and tornado. As a result, homes, power lines and roadways were damaged and remain that way today. DEI is currently without electrical power and unable to fully operate. News from the electric companies on when power will be restored is inconsistent with some reports saying as much as 8-10 days.
Currently, we are looking at all options to get DEI’s phones, order processing and shipments up and running ASAP. I will continue to communicate with you regarding our status and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we deal with the situation at hand.”
The message was sent by Brad Bricker, vice president of sales and marketing.
