“We understand the frustration you’re feeling as you try to go about your day-to-day activities without power. Before we could provide updated restoration estimates today, we needed to assess damage from last night’s storm. Our crews have assessed the damage on the energy grid — including 1,100 downed lines from fallen trees — and we expect to have restoration estimates available for you this afternoon,” the company said in a Facebook post.

Thousands of customers in the Huron and surrounding areas remain without power as of Sunday, according to the DTE outage map.
