A power outage can cause food in your refrigerator to spoil. Here’s how to keep your refrigerator and freezer cooler for longer.
Nighttime thunderstorms on Tuesday rocked many communities in southeast Michigan with loud explosions and lightning. However, no serious damage or flooding has been reported so far, the National Weather Service said. However, that does not mean there was no damage at all.
“At the moment we have no difficult “The reports,” said Brian Cromwell, a meteorologist with the weather service in White Lake, despite last night’s warnings. He added that there were several fallen tree limbs and about 1 to 2 inches of rain that flooded some side streets and basements.
In addition, he noted, the weather service’s search for damage is “still ongoing,” so there could still be some.
In order to identify problem areas more easily, the weather service is asking on social media whether “anyone has reports of damage from the thunderstorms last night and this morning” and whether they should add them as a comment to the Facebook post or “send them to us”.
A joker presented a photo of a small, broken maple tree. The response was: “I pray you recover quickly.”
But other people mentioned bigger concerns, including washouts north of Chelsea and Beverly Hills, flooding in Richmond and St. Clair, a fallen tree in Coldwater, a blown transformer in Northville and power outages in South Lyon and Sterling Heights.
As of 9:30 a.m., DTE reported about 20,000 customers without power, and Consumers Energy said about 3,000 more. Both utilities are trying to restore power as quickly as possible. Highs on Tuesday are expected to be above 25 degrees.
The forecast for Tuesday evening: Possibly more showers, especially in the Thumb area, and a few showers possibly on Wednesday. After that, the weather is expected to be summery dry and temperate through the weekend – one meteorologist called it “really nice.”
