DTE Energy has warned that some customers in Southeast Michigan hit by strong storms on Wednesday may not have their power restored until Saturday or later.
As temperatures this week are forecasted to reach the low 90s and the heat index values reaching the upper 90s, those without access to electricity will be without air conditioning. There will be some really uncomfortable days for some households without air conditioning.
At 7:40 p.m. on Thursday, the DTE Energy outage map indicated that 149,535 customers in Southeast Michigan were still without electricity.
