Severe weather hit Southeast Michigan on Tuesday, causing storm damage and power outages in multiple Metro Detroit communities. Large trees were uprooted and fell onto streets, while downed power lines were reported across the region. Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries, although authorities are investigating trees that reportedly fell on homes. DTE, the local power company, reported over 100,000 customers without power and urged residents to stay away from downed power lines and use portable generators cautiously, outside to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. The National Weather Service issued thunderstorm watches and warnings, which have since been cleared.
The storm response team is working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. The company empathized with residents experiencing power outages and promised to do everything in their power to resolve the issue.
