Power Outage Continues for Some in Brighton
Many residents may not get service back until Friday night, DTE reports.
Some Brighton residents are well into their fourth day without electricity following the heavy winds that swept across southeast Michigan Sunday.
Roughly 100 Brighton area residents were still without power as of Thursday afternoon, according to the DTE outage map.
They are among the 76,000 still without power in southeast Michigan. DTE officials said about 90 percent of all the 302,000 customers that lost service after Sunday should have service restored by late Wednesday night.
Many local residents may have to wait longer. Many DTE customers are estimated to be restored late Friday night, according to the outage map.
The National Weather Service predicts temperatures to dip to about 36 degrees overnight, with a 40 percent chance of rain.
