Storm Leaves 97K Without Power | Lansing News

Friday’s brutal storms slammed southern Michigan, leaving over 380,000 without power—most south of I-96 and I-69. By Monday, that number dropped to 97,000, with DTE Energy bearing the brunt—nearly 80,000 still in the dark. Crews are racing around the clock, some working 16-hour shifts, even pulling in help from Ohio and Alabama. Goal? 95% restored by end of Monday. Wayne County hit hardest with over 51,000 out, Oakland at 11,000, Jackson at 5,000. Officials urge caution: stay 25 feet from downed lines—assume they’re live. Lights are coming back, but patience and safety are key. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
