In Grosse Pointe Woods there were seven fires and dozens of wires that had been knocked down because of the storms.
Many homes had roofs punctured and siding damaged. At one home, a 100-year-old tree fell and basically caved in the roof of a home.
On Thursday morning, the sound from thunder and sirens were replaced by the sound of roaring chainsaws and wood chippers.
Crews spent the day removing trees. In some areas wires are still down and thousands are still without power.
