Storms Cause Power Outages and Flooding in Jackson, Leaving Businesses and Seniors in Need

Several businesses and homes in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan, are still without power days after a weekend storm. Owners and residents are urging patience as they deal with the aftermath. The power outage has resulted in significant financial losses for businesses, including The Original Cottage Inn, which had to throw away $15,000 worth of food. Approximately 2,300 residents in Washtenaw County are still without power, down from nearly 11,000 on Monday. DTE Energy has attributed the outage to wind damage and expects 95% of customers to have power restored by Tuesday evening.
