Hundreds of thousands of northern Michigan residents are dealing with power outages after weekend storms with freezing rain and hail moved through the state.

State officials say an ice storm that passed through northern Michigan on Saturday resulted in downed trees and power lines.

As of 9:10 p.m. Sunday, Great Lakes Energy's outage map is reporting over 132,000 northern Michigan residents without power, Consumers Energy's map shows over 194,000 people are without service and Presque Isle Electric and Gas reports 32,000 of its customers are impacted.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has activated the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) to help with recovery efforts. 

SEOC officials said in a written release that many roads were impassable with large trees and powerlines in the way.

Consumers Energy says teams are working around the clock to restore power.

Presque Isle Electric and Gas said in a Facebook post on Sunday afternoon that full restoration for its customers will take multiple days. The utility company, in the social media post, listed schools and churches that have warming shelters available for anyone in need.

In a social media post on X Sunday morning, the National Weather Service office in Gaylord, Michigan, reported ice accumulations ranging from half an inch to nearly one inch at their facility.

Over 34,000 Southeast Michigan residents were without power Sunday night, according to DTE Energy, as strong storms with high wind gusts moved through the area. 

Officials are asking anyone in need of shelter or non-emergency to call 211 for local assistance, or 911 if there is an emergency.
