Cindy SueWe have been updated to restoration by today at 4:30!!!! Maybe by the time I get home there will be power!!!!
Well, we are now at "crews are making repairs." It still says tomorrow at 6pm, but I feel a little better knowing they are in my immediate neighborhood. A couple of friends have gotten power back long before the estimated restoration time so this gives me hope. Of course, one lives in another county even though they have a Rosco address and the other lives quite a ways from me. But... It's seeming more positive than when I woke up this morning.
Still no power though I hear that they have restored power on the north side of Higgins Lake so hopefully they will work their way around to us tonight.
Watched a huge branch fall near the driveway. It hit the power pole, but amazingly the lines all stayed up. The pole and lines shook for quite some time.
Heard from some people heading south that there were a lot of linemen heading north on I-75. So help is here and more is coming.
Deborah Edwards-OñoroRoscommon County in Northern Michigan declares emergency as 86% of homes, businesses are without power.
I don't know what time power went out last night, but Consumers Energy says it will be restored by 9am tomorrow. I am hoping that it comes up sooner than that, but with 95.4% of the county out, I doubt it.
Looking outside there are branches all over the road. But our lines directly in front of us are fine. Covered in ice, but still hanging on. Just about everything in the county is closed today.
If you're in this mess with me- stay warm and stay safe!
