(WWJ) – Aside from a strong storm over the holidays and a heavy dose of snow in late January, it’s been a relatively calm winter in Metro Detroit. But that changed Wednesday when what’s being called a “once-in-50-years” ice storm slammed into the area.
The historic weather event knocked out power to more than 680,000 homes and businesses across the state and some parts of Southeast Michigan saw up to ¾ of an inch of ice. DTE officials said Thursday some people may not have power restored until Sunday.
On a new Daily J, WWJ's Brian Fisher explores how this slick situation caused the lights to go out, and how it still is causing problems for those attempting to restore them.
