Consumers Energy Co. is working to restore power after severe storms with wind gusts nearing 60 mph caused widespread outages across Northwest and Mid-Michigan. Additional crews from across the U.S. and Canada have joined local teams to accelerate restoration efforts. All customers, including those in the hardest-hit areas, are expected to have power restored by the end of Wednesday. The company urges the public to stay at least 25 feet from downed power lines, report unguarded lines, and use generators safely to avoid carbon monoxide hazards. Customers can track outage status and sign up for alerts through the Consumers Energy website.
