LANSING, MI — Another round of thunderstorms has knocked out power to thousands in mid-Michigan. Consumers Energy says crews have been working around the clock to make repairs and get the lights back on.
Bolstered by crews from seven states, Consumers expects to make progress today in restoring power to over 300,000 Michigan homes and businesses that have been affected by two days of intense storms across the state.
Crews worked through the night as storms continued to move through Michigan. In addition to Consumers Energy crews and others from Michigan, line workers today are joining the effort from seven states, including New York, Tennessee and Missouri.
About 215,000 Consumers Energy customers were without power as of 5:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
