It has been written, now it will be done, right?

How much extra would you pay?

Two weeks ago storms rolled across West Michigan and across the state leaving hundreds of thousands of residents without power. Some for over a week. Now the Michigan Attorney General wants to hear your stories.

Overnight, another 20,000 or so were back on the Consumers Energy grid, leaving about 28,000 remaining without service. That’s a long haul considering the first power outages began Late last Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

According to Consumers Energy, last week's storms caused one of their top 10 outages in Michigan.

If you are without power from the severe weather this week, it may be a while before service is restored. Consumers Energy is reporting that some areas left without power from the strong storms that have rolled over the region may not have service restored until Sunday.

Another big line of storms roared across the state overnight. The sounds at times were more like sensations with homes and buildings shaking from pressure waves from the lightning and thunder.

The two main Michigan based Utilities say they are making progress restoring power to homes and businesses after high winds toppled trees and power lines that led to two deaths.
