DETROIT (WWJ) - Nearly 90,000 metro Detroiters lost power throughout the day Sunday after a "bomb cyclone" moved across Michigan.
The National Weather Service issued a High Wind Warning for all of southeast Michigan on Sunday, with sustained winds of 30-40 mph and reported wind gusts of up to 50-60 mph. The warning expired at 4 a.m. Monday.
DTE Energy reported that 87,000 people in southeast Michigan lost power at some point Sunday. Power had been restored to more than 40,000 customers -- with around 48,000 homes and businesses still in the dark late Monday morning.
DTE will provide updates on outages and restoration estimates throughout the day with its outage map.
At the peak out the outages, more than 150,000 customers were without power across the state.
One of the hardest hit areas was near Mt. Clemens, with more than 2,500 customers without power, according to DTE's map. Other hard-hit areas included Bloomfield Hills and several areas Downriver.
Due to the winter weather, officials suggest adding some extra items to your emergency preparedness kit including: extra batteries, large flashlights/emergency lighting, food that does not require heat, and warm clothes and blankets.
With high winds hanging around, State Police say all drivers -- especially those with trucks, SUVs and taller vehicles -- should use extra caution on the roads during the storm, as gusts can push vehicles.
MSP also urged pet owners to keep an eye on their pets when letting them outside.
If you see a downed power line, avoid going near it and report it to DTE at 800-477-4747.
