Wednesday, April 2: Severe Weather Outlook
Published on Mar 31, 2025 20:44
We are preparing for Wednesday's weather forecast, which is expected to bring severe thunderstorms to the area late in the evening and overnight.
Please
Remember to Keep Safety Top of Mind:
- Be
careful as you head outside – live downed wire can be covered up or
out of sight after falling. Be mindful of supervising children and pets
outdoors.
- Always
consider wires live and dangerous – please remember to stay 25 feet
from downed wires and anything in contact with those wires.
- Stay
away from fallen trees or branches – they could have brought down a
wire. Downed wires can look like sticks, so don’t pick any up. 
- Report
outages or down wires – Call 800-477-4747, visit outage.dteenergy.com, click below, or use the DTE
Energy mobile app to report an outage.
- DO
NOT CROSS YELLOW CAUTION TAPE – everyone should also heed the warning
of yellow caution tape, indicating a downed power line in the area.
- Never
use portable generators inside a home or business – they emit carbon monoxide, which can be
deadly. Keep it outside, away from windows and doors, so fumes won’t come in.
