Yet another widespread power outage in the Metro

[mtburb]

After last night's storms, there are still around half a million people in the dark right now.

Down here, as of right now, half of Lincoln Park, Southgate, Allen Park, Taylor and Romulus, a third of Trenton, three-fourths of Grosse Ile and virtually all of Gibraltar and Flat Rock is still dark.

During the storm, a large area at the northeast corner of Eureka Road and Fort was in the dark as well.

In addition, the Dakota Inn also lost power, prompting the cancellation of the 26th Annual Chili Cookoff.

This is pretty unbelievable. And is the PLS system knocked out as well? If it is, this is pretty catastrophic.
