Thousands without power in Macomb County, school closings reported
About 4,400 customers in the Warren, Michigan, area lost power Tuesday morning.
The affected area was generally along 14 Mile Road and 15 Mile Road, between Schoenherr Road and Kelly Road.
The DTE outage map indicates that many of them lost power about 4:02 a.m., with restoration expected later in the morning. There were still nearly 1,200 customers without power in that area about 10:30 a.m.
The cause is listed on the map as interference with DTE equipment.
Because the power outage area includes Fraser City Hall, all city computers are off line and payments cannot be processed, city officials said.
Fraser Public Schools says because of the power outage, there will be no school Tuesday at Disney, Emerson and Salk elementary schools. The other schools in the district will be open Tuesday.
The USDA Food Safety website says a refrigerator can keep food safe for up to four hours after losing power if the refrigerator door remains closed. A freezer can stay cold for 24 hours if half-full; up to 48 hours if it is full.
