Overview
- Thousands of customers remain without electricity across Southeast Michigan as gusty conditions persist, with DTE’s outage map providing the latest status and reporting tools.
- As of 4:40 p.m. Sunday, DTE Energy reported more than 6,500 separate outages in the region.
- DTE says outages are likely to increase Monday as winds and ice-damaged branches bring down lines, and out-of-state crews are on standby to assist.
- Residents are advised to stay at least 20 feet from fallen wires, assume they are energized, and call 911 if there is immediate danger, with DTE at 800-477-4747 and Consumers Energy at 800-477-5050 for reports.
- If a wire lands on a vehicle, officials say to remain inside and call 911, or if exit is unavoidable, jump clear with feet together and shuffle away without lifting your feet until 20 feet from the car.
