Severe storms in Michigan have left over 300,000 homes and businesses without power, mainly in the central and southeastern regions of the state. Utility companies, including DTE Energy and Consumers Energy, are working to restore services, with reports indicating that 350 schools are affected. Utility officials described the damage as extensive, with broken poles and downed trees complicating restoration efforts. As utilities distribute water and ice to impacted residents, a cold front is expected to bring cooler temperatures following the storms.
