Around 160,000 without power in Michigan right now

VERY powerful storms north of Flint. Lots of outages west of us. Well, all around us. Parts of Genesee County are hard hit, too. Lots of 'small' outages and a number of BIG outages. Not much around me, thankfully.

1. Here in Lansing, we lost power right when the storm hit a little after 4:00 p.m.

and it wasn't restored until a little after midnight. Internet was out until about 10 minutes ago. There are trees down all over and some flooding. I don't remember trees bending as low as they did outside my window when the initial gust front came through. I'm usually pretty chill during storms, but that was alarming. It knocked out my weather radio and the data wasn't working on my phone temporarily, so I couldn't track the storm. My cats were really nervous, which was unusual. I checked on Outside Kitty after the storm passed, and he seemed to take it in stride. I hope your crew weathered the storm unscathed.
