Crews were called to the scene early Tuesday morning to help clean up the aftermath. Fallen trees are being cut up and branches are being removed from on top of nearby houses.

Hundreds of thousands of Michigan residents lost power as heavy rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms arrived Monday evening.
