A world-wide outage of the Microsoft Azure cloud-hosting system used by The Blade impeded production of today's print edition and prevented updates to the newspaper's website on Wednesday night.

Because of this problem, only Peach Weekender, paid obituaries, the weather page, and advertisements are contained in today's print edition.

Our electronically delivered edition at toledoblade.com/eblade includes a full version of today’s paper with updated news stories, as does toledoblade.com.

Be sure to create an account on toledoblade.com to read an unlimited number of articles.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patronage.
