“High winds and heavy rain have caused extensive tree damage and more than 1,000 downed power lines across DTE’s service territory so far. DTE crews are assessing damage, and making repairs and restoring power, in areas where it is safe to do so. Continued severe weather – and additional outages – are expected through this evening,” officials said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.
“We understand how difficult it is to be without power and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these outages may have caused," the statement continued. "Our crews are working as safely and quickly as possible to restore power to affected customers and we won’t stop working around the clock until all outages have been resolved.”
