GRAND RAPIDS (WOOD-AM) - Officials with Consumers Energy say the 16-hour shifts continue, as restoration crews try to get the lights back on for thousands of Michiganders.
Over 158,000 utility customers are still powerless, according to a count at 6:40 a.m.
"We expect most customers will get their power back on by the end of the day Saturday and then we hope to finish the real bulk of the work that's left after that on Sunday," Brian Wheeler, a spokesperson for the utility, told WOOD-TV.
