The freezing rain and ice storm that blew through Michigan
downed trees and limbs, cut power to about 700,000 homes and
businesses, closed schools and offices, suspended the QLINE,
delayed air travel, caused car crashes and killed a firefighter
in Paw Paw, who was electrocuted.

DTE � the Detroit-based utility with nearly a half-million
customers without power at one point Thursday - said it has been
working to restore electricity as "quickly and safely as
possible," and estimated 95% of its customers will have power
restored by Sunday.

Consumers Energy said most of its 200,000-plus customers also
should have the lights back on by Sunday.

Michigan power outage map:How to check your status

Michiganders are used to winter ice, but ice storms - a
combination of freezing rain, sleet, ice and snow - are
relatively rare, and wreak havoc on communities because they
weigh down tree branches, power lines, and roofs; they also coat
roadways and railways.

Customers without power said they likely are going to have some
restless nights if they have to wait two, three - or even more -
days before the lights and heat comes back on. Some are going to
warming shelters and planning to stay the night with relatives,
friends, and in hotels.

By late afternoon, Rochelle Brown said she wasn't sure where she
was going to spend the night.

"A wire fell into my yard, my driveway," the 48-year-old
Detroiter said, describing how the ice took it down at about 8
p.m. Wednesday. "I thought it was going to set my house on fire.
It sparkled and crackled all night. It's cold in my house. I
sent my kids other places, but I stayed in the home with my dog."

The ice, National Weather Service meteorologists said, was
between a quarter-inch and more than a half-inch thick, and
utility executives added that when there is that much ice on the
power lines, the effective stress of 20-mph winds is as if they
were gusting at 60.

There was some thawing Thursday, with highs in the mid- and
upper-30s, but forecasters said expect it to freeze again with
lows overnight in the teens, freezing-cold weather Friday and
wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph, which could mean more snapped power
lines.

More:1 of Michigan's worst ice storms ever hit in 1976

DTE scrambled to repair lines and advised customers to "stay at
least 25 feet from any downed power lines" and "assume they are
live and dangerous." It also asked its customers to use its app
or call 800-477-4747 to report outages and downed lines.

By 3 p.m., the utility said 488,000 customers were still without
power.

Storm Center React

Moreover, DTE's outage app was briefly out Wednesday night,
adding to customer frustration.

And in one county, Hillsdale, more than 80% of power customers
reportedly had no electricity.

Consumers Energy urged customers to check its outage center
online to report an outage, check the status of repairs, and get
tips on what to do and how to be safe. Customers also could call
800-477-5050 to reported a downed line.

The worst hit areas, the company said, were along Interstate 94,
including Jackson, where the utility is based, and Kalamazoo,
Battle Creek and Hillsdale.

PowerOutage.us, which aggregates power outage data nationwide,
showed three smaller utilities � Indiana Michigan Power, Midwest
Energy Cooperative and Lansing Board of Water and Light �
reporting a combined total of about 10,000 more customers with
no electricity.

Firefighter electrocuted
At least one volunteer firefighter with the Paw Paw Fire
Department died Wednesday evening at about 6:30 p.m. as a result
of a downed power line on 30th Street near Red Arrow Highway in
Van Buren County, police and news reports confirmed.

The fire department said Ethan Quillen was a "husband, father,
son, friend, Marine, and dedicated firefighter" who was
"selfless, kind, loving, hard working, and so much more." The
department set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to support
his wife and daughter.

The death was not the firefighter's fault, the Van Buren County
Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

"On behalf of the Paw Paw Fire Department, it is with a heavy
heart that they lost one of their own tonight on a tragic
incident," the sheriff's office said, urging people to keep the
fallen firefighter's family and friends "in your thoughts and
prayers at this time."

Consumers Energy said in its own statement that the company was
"saddened to learn of this firefighter's passing" and that
"extreme weather events like this are difficult for numerous
reasons, but few are more important than the risk many first
responders and line workers take with their lives in service of
their community."

The company added it was investigating what happened.

Schools, offices close
Throughout southeast Michigan, schools � many for two days �
closed.

Businesses, like Genisys Credit Union, also closed. Genisys
announced Wednesday it was ending the day early to allow workers
to travel home before road conditions became unsafe. And on
Thursday, municipalities like Livonia, which lost power, closed
city halls, senior centers, libraries and courts.

The QLINE tweeted it suspended services Wednesday as a result of
icy conditions.

Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus reported weather delays to and
from various cities, mostly in the Northeast.

And the Michigan State Police counted 55 crashes in metro
Detroit during Wednesday's ice storm. None of them MSP said,
were serious and all were are result of "some type of bad
driving behavior." Authorities urged drivers to slow down,
especially with Thursday's thaw and refreeze.

Shelters and support
Some communities, like Dearborn, are trying to help residents by
distributing free dry ice from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Reckinger
Road between the Centennial Library and Dearborn Police
Department. It is the same location used for the bimonthly
Gleaners food drive.

It also is opening warming centers throughout the city where
residents can shelter in heated indoor spaces. The locations are
at the Dearborn libraries � Henry Ford Centennial Library, at
16301 Michigan Ave.; Bryant Library, 22100 Michigan Ave., and
Esper Library, 12929 Warren Ave. � and the Ford Community &
Performing Arts Center.

The Community Financial Credit Union, based in Plymouth, said it
is giving away $500 credit cards.

Some Michiganders, the financial institution said, may find
"securing safe and warm lodging" and "extra resources to replace
lost food" challenging. So it was offering $500 with "no
questions asked," to help provide support and comfort to
community members.

Frustration and fires
Ice-coated trees, cars, homes and power lines, causing hundreds
of thousands of Michiganders to lose electricity Thursday.
On Wednesday night, downed tree limbs and lines likely sparked
fires.

In Pleasant Ridge, which has neighborhoods full of trees,
residents posted photos of large tree branches on their roofs
and the city's icy sidewalks, and what appeared to be a downed
line. Throughout the night and into Thursday morning, a part of
the city was in darkness with no electricity.

One neighbor said that he could not sleep with the noise from
generators.
