Thunderstorms hit Greater Lansing hard Thursday morning with more than 90,000 Consumers Energy electric users in Michigan losing power. Ingham County wasn’t immune, with more than 2,700 residences currently lacking power. For most counties impacted by the storms, the electricity is expected to be repaired by Friday evening, but those counties affected severely, such as Ingham, may have to wait until Saturday or Sunday for the power to be returned, Consumers Energy said in a press release. To quicken the process of fixing the electricity issues, Consumers Energy has increased the number of workers servicing the power sources in each area. People who come near any loose wires are warned not to touch them, but rather to call 800-477-5050 or local law enforcements to come and fix the problem. The thunderstorms also brought down tree branches, which are now blocking some streets and sidewalks, leading East Lansing to add more city workers to help in the cleanup efforts. The workers expect to clear all the wreckage by Friday, but any other branches that came down due to the storm can be picked up through July 13 by calling 517-337-9459.
