Still 35,000 customers without power from the Michigan Ice Storm last week. ONLY 7,000 restored in last 24 hours.
VERY cold in this part of Michigan where the power is out - lows in the lower teens today. :( #miwx

To request a specific location/person be checked, click this link and complete the form https://forms.gle/jryUmMKBNtiQXDx8A To speed the process of door to door checks, hang a white item on your door if you're ok or a red item if you need help.

Storm damage in Michigan to radio facilities:

#W8LAP Lapeer County Skywarn repeater is offline after storm damage. "Lapeer County Amateur Radio Association", LCARA. via Facebook.

#WKHQ Emmet County - "106 KHQ" radio station offline after a 630 foot tower collapsed. via WPBN/WGTU https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/ice-storm-causes-630-foot-106-khq-tower-to-collapse-in-petoskey-disrupting-radio

Based on the amount of wind in the storm to the south and the amount of ice in the storm to the north I am sure there are more, but this is what I know about.

Michigan power outages down from 320,000 this time yesterday to 200,000 now. Most from the ice storm.

6 counties >75% out.

Montgomery County is STILL 93% out. #miwx
