power outage

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

The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids is warning of more severe weather overnight as nearly 200,000 in Michigan are without power.

Early Saturday May 22, Consumers Energy will shut off power to a portion of Battle Creek while upgrades are completed.

Consumers Energy still has about 500 customers across Southern Michigan without service this morning. But that’s a far cry from well over 30,000 who lost power at the height of the storm activity Monday night.

How many squirrels does it take to knock out power to over 100 traffic lights in the city of Grand Rapids? Just one!

Look for another day of stormy weather around Battle Creek and most of West Michigan today.

After the crash, the sergeant said the vehicles engine caught fire. Witnesses described the suspect as a woman, but police could not confirm a description or the identity of the suspect.

According to Consumers Energy, over 155,000 customers were without power Friday morning; the vast majority of those customers are in the Grand Rapids, Ionia, Cedar Springs and Belding areas.

There are still some without power following Monday morning’s winter storm, but electricity has been restored to most of the thousands who were in the dark in Southwest Michigan.
