IONIA, Mich. (WOOD) — The oppressive Memorial Day heat became even more bothersome for thousands of Consumers Energy customers who lost power Monday.
A Consumers Energy spokesperson told 24 Hour News 8 a third-party company with power lines that feed into theirs had issues with some of the lines. That's what caused the power outage for about 4,000 customers.
The signs outside of Corner Scoop, located along Bluewater Highway in Ionia, read "Closed - No Power!"
The afternoon power outage lasted about two hours, but it took a scoop out of the holiday cash some businesses bank on.
