DETROIT – Thousands are again without power in Southeast Michigan as a winter storm moved through the area, bringing heavy snow and winds.
As of 8 a.m., about 203,000 DTE Energy customers were without power in Southeast Michigan.
“More than 4,000 members of DTE’s Storm Response Team are working to restore power to customers impacted by the wet, heavy snow that hit Southeastern Michigan last night. Restoration estimates will be available as soon as our crews can safely access and assess storm damage. Please stay safe! Tree limbs, already weakened by the previous ice storm, may come into contact with power lines, bringing them down. Watch for downed power lines buried in snow and debris and stay at least 25 feet away from all downed power lines and anything they may touch. Consider them live and dangerous.” -- DTE

We’ll continue to update this article with outage information, should more outages occur.
Dangerous winds mean that it isn’t safe for crews to be up high and working on power lines -- so any outages could take a while to address.
