(WXYZ) — Tens of thousands are without power in Southeast Michigan Thursday as storms move through the area.
Severe thunderstorm warnings and a severe thunderstorm watch were issued for parts of Southeast Michigan.
As of 9:23 p.m., 88,314 DTE Energy customers without power, according to their outage map. They also said 893 crews were out in the field.
As a safety precaution, if you see a downed power line, stay at least 20 feet away from it and always treat it like a live wire. Also, never use a portable generator inside of your home because it emits carbon monoxide, which can be deadly. Keep generators outside and away from windows.
For customers who have lost power or see a downed power line, there are three ways to contact DTE – either by phone at 800-477-4747, on the web at dteenergy.com or you can access the DTE Energy Mobile App from your smart phone or tablet.
