EDIT: THE ICE STORM WAS WEDNESDAY EVENING,

followed by wind gusts of 45mph Thursday evening, and they're promising 95% back online by Sunday evening.

EDIT EDIT: Updated article here:

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Here is a link to a "live" outage map by DTE, one of the biggest providers:

ZIP map has the most detail.

Weather is currently below freezing for the third night, at 22°F.

Check r/detroit for anecdotal accounts.

I lived there for a year and a few summers ago I swear we lost power everytime there was a thunderstorm in the Detroit area. I had to file a couple different times for loss of food. It was pretty ridiculous after awhile. I hope y'all are staying warm.

Yeah I lost power a couple of times last summer. Once for 4 days. I actually think summer is worse without power. Easier to get warmer than cooler in my opinion.

Huh. DTE’s outage map show fewer than 100k. Plus, it shows my neighborhood as being off and we never lost power so it seems like their map is an overestimate. (Except for flickering.)

Edit: never mind. DTE says 50k+ but when I click on it, it says 250k. 😖
