Power flickered at my house for a sec...
I'm in Consumers Electic land and there are about 200,000 out , pretty much everything south of I94.
I guess I'll be getting a really good workout with the chainsaw!

My folks are without power in Milan just north of the dragway. My Grandpa just called asking for my generator because he's not sure when he'll have power back. My parents have a generac system so they're surviving without much issue.
Driving through Grosse Pointe last night and there are still entire blocks without power. It is pretty ugly having no power when the temps are this cold. Looking at the outage map, it is probably going to be Monday before everyone gets power back - According to DTE at least. All those individual lines take a LONG time to repair.
Last time we had outages like this, I was living in Pontiac, and the power was out for almost two weeks. It was crazy.

I really gotta get off my ass and figure out why my basically new dual fuel generator won't fire. I really don't want to run gas through it, and it won't fire up on Propane now. My guess is something went bad in the secondary regulator.
We luckily kept power, but being on a well I would have no water or anything.
I hear you on that procrastination. Mine was in may basement flood a couple summers ago and I still don't have it back together. I did buy a new carb for it though! When we had the ice storm, all I could think is that we would lose power and I would be getting "The Look" from my wife.
