Storms Bring Flooding, Outages To Michigan

POSTED: 7:32 am EDT July 3, 2008
UPDATED: 3:38 pm EDT July 3, 2008

SAGINAW, Mich. -- Severe thunderstorms that swept across Michigan's Lower Peninsula have caused power outages to about 185,000 homes and businesses and flooded streets.

The approximate numbers of local Consumers Energy electric customers remaining without service includes:
  • Gratiot 190

The National Weather Service issued a flood warning early Thursday for small streams in Lenawee County, where more than 4 inches of rain has fallen.

A lightning strike apparently sparked a house fire Wednesday that caused a minor injury to a Grand Rapids firefighter.
