Michigan power outages
« on: March 08, 2017, 05:24:24 pm »
Did you lose power today due to the high winds? Ours blinked on and off, but came back on.  There were  a lot of traffic lights out and power lines down. I think the last residence count was 540,000 without power today.

That was plenty of people without power.  I'm glad everyone is doing ok.

Wow no didn't hear about Michigan but have a couple of FB friends in Indiana who posted pictures of semi trucks that had actually blown over due to the high winds.  I couldn't even imagine.  Well here is hoping all the extreme winds and power outages are resolved soon for you guys.
