Thousands are without power right now after severe weather hits southeast Michigan, damaging homes and knocking out power to tens of thousands of people.

Many residents at an apartment complex in Westland were forced out of their units after a fire broke out on a second floor balcony early Monday morning.

While the fire was extinguished days ago, fire crews are still working to help in the aftermath of the devastation.

Officials said 36 units were destroyed overnight when a fire tore through three buildings at a Westland apartment complex.
