    Consumers Energy crews making progress on outages

    Comments 0 | Recommend 0

    WEST MICHIGAN (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - As of Saturday night, less than 10,000 customers are without power in Michigan.

    Consumers Energy crews have been working around the clock since those storms rolled through on Wednesday afternoon, and have already brought power back to nearly 140,000 customers.

    Here are the latest outage numbers:

    ALLEGAN COUNTY: 1,000

    CALHOUN COUNTY: 2,400

    KALAMAZOO COUNTY: 5,000

    KENT COUNTY: 500

    OTTAWA COUNTY: 30

    VAN BUREN COUNTY: 100

    WASHTENAW: 50


    Despite bringing in more than 100 extra crews from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin, Consumers is pushing back its estimate of when everyone should be back on.  It's now Saturday evening for most customers, but could be as late as Sunday for some of the hardest hit areas.
