Hi Concetta - I think your best bet would be to look at www.freep.com - that is the site for the Detroit Free Press and you'll see the latest info on blackout and area involved. But I think power is being restored gradually to all areas.

Most of southeastern Michigan has power out. Also Ontario and a large portion of the northeastern US. I am one of the fortunate ones whose power was restored about 5:30 am this morning, but word is that it will likely take the entire weekend to restore power to everyone and they do not expect downtown Detroit to be restored before the end of the weekend. I am in Warren, Michigan and also Sterling Heights, MI has been restored. Everyone in these area do not have power. There are gas stations, stores and banks that do not have power with homes and buildings with power a few buildings down the street. Renee ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
