I believe there are 200,000 people in MI right now without power. I’m sure the high winds & thunderstorms are the cause. We’ve had several trees come down the last couple days.
Ok. That’s odd. My daughters been out since Tuesday night & reported it. Then yesterday she gets a message from consumers power saying they think it was falsely reported. She informed them that it definitely wasn’t falsely reported & she’s still without power. Then they sent her another message saying it could be some time Friday (this was yesterday) before her power is restored. She’s a couple hours south of Petosky though.
All that extra money Consumers is getting for charging us 1.5x the normal rate between 2pm and 7pm and they can't even figure out if an area is out of power.
Everything is computerized now. They have the ability to live monitor. All they have to do is pull up her account and see if she is using any power. if power meter is not showing any juice being used then TADA!!! she has no power.
Exactly. My husband used to work for an underground construction company that sub contracted for consumers. Consumer employees are definitely over paid & under worked.

I just looked it up on Consumers Power outage map and ZERO reported in Petoskey. Great Lakes Energy has 2 homes reported.
If you look it up on oweroutage.us, it shows that Emmet county has a few, but it does not show by the city
