Our power made it through the storm but went out at 4pm last night. Says the power will be back sometime today.....

But no time estimate which makes me suspicious. I did see a bunch of contractor trucks working down the road at 830 last night so there are people putting in overtime to get things back.

Back to the board

Fuck DTE. 2 days now without power, keep pushing back restoration timeline* - By wingedvictory September 5, 2026 at 08:51:26 AM

- This is anecdotal but the public utilities in Michigan seem a lot worse than those in Colorado - By Paul September 5, 2026 at 09:37:58 AM
  - There was a time when DTE was pretty good. They would always come in under restoration estimates. But they have steadily declined over the past 20-25 years* - By Rich September 5, 2026 at 09:40:11 AM
- Just a weird couple of days. The storm was nasty in Pinckney. Couple of tornados nearby. We never lost power but it flickered for quite a while (more) - By EricP September 5, 2026 at 09:32:22 AM
  - We were fortunate (South AA). Heavy storms, power off/on a few times (seconds to couple minutes duration), but no long-lasting issues.* - By kccambo September 5, 2026 at 09:51:32 AM
- All utility companies should be publicly owned - By Credit September 5, 2026 at 09:31:35 AM
  - DTE is publicly owned. But the boards are rubber stamp only and the government (legislature and Whitmer) is as well - By Rich September 5, 2026 at 09:35:17 AM
    - I mean it should be a government run public service instead of an investor owned company - By Credit September 5, 2026 at 10:51:01 AM
    - Ugh, I just looked up the DTE board. Guess which useless out of touch person is on the board.... - By Rich September 5, 2026 at 09:37:47 AM

  - I've worked with a huge number of public and private infrastructure organizations, and they are by far the worst. Zero accountability on any level* - By wingedvictory September 5, 2026 at 09:02:23 AM
