More than 10K without power in Southeast Michigan after severe storms

More than 10,000 DTE customers in Southeastern Michigan are without power after severe storms moved through the area on Wednesday.

Around 9:19 a.m. on Thursday, June 6., 14,291 customers were without power, according to DTE's outage map .

Storms left behind damage in several communities including at a gas station in Farmington Hills where an overhang collapsed and caused a fire after hitting a gas pump. Livonia was one of the hardest hit areas.

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 smartphone or tablet.
