Storms will continue passing through West Michigan overnight. Some of these storms, or at least another round may persist into Sunday morning and midday before the real threat is gone and they clear the area.
On Sunday night, Consumers Energy reported that power had been restored to more than 71% of impacted customers. It was reported around 9 p.m. that less than 27,000 Consumers Energy customers were still without power. "We appreciate Consumer Energy's customers and their patience and understanding as crews worked around the clock today to make significant progress restoring power across the state," said Roger Curtis, Consumers Energy's officer in charge of Sunday's power restoration work. "We have more work to do tonight and into Monday, and we won't stop until the job is done."
Consumers Energy also said that it expects to restore power to all 93,000 customers affected by Saturday night's storm by Monday at 6 p.m. "We are in the home stretch, and we want out team members and customers to stay safe as crews work to get all of our customers fully restored as soon as possible," said Curtis.
