Strong winds on Saturday night left many homes in Michigan without power.

Areas hit the hardest in the state included Midland, Flint, Carson City, Alma and most of the east side.

Consumers Energy crews worked to restore power to more than 95,000 customers this morning.

Many power lines had fallen and there was noticeable tree damage along the roads in areas surrounding Midland.

Director of External Relations Katie Carey said that Consumers Energy made great progress this morning, but is still working to bring power back for everyone.

“We are hopeful that we can get a lot of those folks restored at the end of the day on Monday, but we’re hopeful that we can get some a little bit earlier today,” Carey said.

She also warns that if you see a downed power line, to stay at least 25 feet away and call 9-1-1 as it may still be charged.
