WATCH: Severe storms leave major mess across southeast Michigan
Wind gusts of more than 75 mph caused more than 2,000 downed power lines across the utility's southeast Michigan service area. Residents are being asked to stay at least 20 feet away from all power lines and anything they're in contact with, and to consider them live.
A Warren man was killed after being electrocuted because of a downed wire in a backyard. Residents should also be cautious of any tree branches that may also snap or fall.
Ferndale neighborhood waits for power to come back on
A neighborhood in Ferndale near 9 Mile Road and Woodward Avenue was still without power Saturday night. Some people were charging their devices from their car as others were getting by the old fashioned way.
With the entire block in the dark, some neighbors on Drayton Street in Ferndale broke out the lawn chairs, their coolers filled full of ice and they grilled all the meat they had.
For those without power and major games to watch, they headed to places with the lights on. While Rosie O' Gradys was packed, across the street every business was closed due to the storm.
