Power Outage Continues For Some In Bloomfield Hills
Several hundred residents may not get service back until Thursday night, DTE reports.
Some residents of Bloomfield Township and Bloomfield Hills are well into their fourth day without electricity following the heavy winds that swept across southeast Michigan Sunday.
Roughly 1,500 residents in the greater Bloomfield area were still without power as of Wednesday afternoon, according to the DTE outage map.
They are among the 76,000 still without power in southeast Michigan. DTE officials said about 90 percent of all the 302,000 customers that lost service after Sunday should have service restored by late Wednesday night.
Many local residents may have to wait longer. Roughly 500 in the area of Lahser and Maple roads may not get electricity until late Thursday night.
More than 150 customers in the area of Woodward Avenue and Lone Pine Road-- who've been without electricity since 9 p.m. Sunday-- should expect it back by 11:30 p.m. Friday.
The National Weather Service predicts temperatures to dip to about 36 degrees overnight, with a 40 percent chance of rain.
