Windstorm outages 'largest combined statewide event in history,' Snyder says

[Cripplecreek]

The damage and outages caused by the windstorm statewide Wednesday is the "largest combined statewide event in history" according to numbers from Consumers Energy and DTE, Gov. Rick Snyder said Thursday.

During a Thursday afternoon press conference, Snyder said at one point more than one-third of Michigan residents were impacted by the storm.

"Every part of the state was affected by this," he said, adding that residents should continue to be wary of downed power lines and seek safe shelter over the weekend if their power hasn't yet been restored.
