How many DTE Energy customers were left without power in Michigan?
Apr. 9–Despite a day of snow that added 25,000 new outages Monday, DTE Energy officials say they expect to restore power by tonight to many of the tens of thousands of customers who’ve gone without electricity since Friday’s ice storm. However, some customers may be without power until the end of the week. By Tuesday night, DTE had restored power to 276,000 customers, but another 124,000 were still out, two-thirds in Oakland County and the remainder in Macomb, St. Clair and Lapeer counties.

trong thunderstorms batter southeast Michigan HADLEY, Mich. — Severe thunderstorms have moved through southeast Michigan, leaving about 100,000 electrical customers without service. The National Weather Service issued severe thunderstorm warnings for a half-dozen counties in the region Thursday afternoon, but canceled them several hours later. Tornado warnings were briefly in effect for Lapeer and Monroe counties, although forecasters did not confirm any tornadoes had touched down. Flash flood warnings were issued for rivers and streams in much of Macomb and Oakland counties and southern Lapeer County. DTE Energy Co. spokeswoman Lorie Kessler says about 100,000 customers lost power because of the storms, including 66,000 in Macomb County and 20,000 in Wayne County.
