AADL took over as a temporary relief station for those needing to cool off and charge electronic devices after the city closed its A2 Relief Station at Pioneer High School on Sunday, saying that Ann Arbor Public Schools needed to begin preparing the facility for the upcoming start of classes.

The city announced on Monday that water and non-perishable supplies will be available for pick up at Veterans Memorial Park, while supplies last.

Although power has been restored for many, some areas are still in the dark, according to DTE’s Outage Center.

Nearly one million Michigan households lost power following the severe storms, coming close to the number of power outages caused by the record-breaking wind storm in March 2017.
