Summary
Power outages still plague metro Detroit, with over 79,000 residents in the dark as crews battle storm damage that knocked out hundreds of thousands of lights. Winds up to 60 mph toppled trees and power lines, overwhelming DTE’s response — though they restored power for 200,000 within 24 hours. Many still face outages past 48 hours, especially in Detroit, Dearborn Heights, and Royal Oak, where aging infrastructure makes recovery harder. DTE’s repair crews face a daunting task — replacing 8 to 12 poles per block — while city officials step in with dry ice and aid for vulnerable residents. Temperatures have cooled, offering some relief, and most expect power back by Monday’s end. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
