NORTHERN MICHIGAN -- 400 Great Lakes customers are still without power as Great Lakes Energy lineworkers work to restore it.
Great Lakes Energy tells 7&4 the power has been restored for 4,000 customers after work continues to repair damages caused by strong winds.
Strong, gusty winds created widespread outages, with most of the tree-related damage to power lines occurring in Antrim County. Most of the remaining members without power are in that county, along with isolated, scattered outages in parts of Charlevoix , Emmet and neighboring counties.
Power is expected to be restored to remaining members later today.
Current outage information by counties and townships that is updated every 15 minutes can be viewed on the Great Lakes Energy website, www.gtlakes.com, by clicking on Storm Central.
Great Lakes Energy members are reminded to stay away from downed power lines for their safety and protection.
Members without power are asked to call the electric cooperative’s automated, toll-free outage number: 1-800-678-0411.
