Some Michigan residents have to deal with power outages as a result from the severe thunderstorms that swept through mid-Michigan Monday afternoon. The storms produced high wind gusts, knocking down power lines and trees, and damaging homes in its path.
Here are some tips for property owners if the electricity goes out:
- Make sure you have batteries for flashlights and radios and bottled water
- To avoid a power surge when the power returns, turn off all appliances and electronic equipment at power strips
- Avoid opening your refrigerator or freezer too often, food will stay cold for up to 2-4 hours in the refrigerator and 48 hours in the freezer
- Run generators and grills outdoors only to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning
