Power Restoration Work Wrapping Up After Storms Hit Michigan

DETROIT (CBS DETROIT/ AP) — DTE Energy says the "vast majority" of affected customers Wednesday now have power after a weekend of storms that came amid dangerously hot weather that eventually eased.

DTE expects power to be fully restored by the end of Wednesday.

Severe storms over two days knocked out power to more than 800,000 Michigan homes and businesses.

Roughly 600,000 customers were in the dark at the peak. Customers who've been without power for 120 hours or longer may be eligible for a $25 reliability credit.
