It was flooding - the rain was pretty heavy. From WDIV-TV, Detroit, MI:
Parts of Dearborn enter 4th day without power after flooding
Dearborn was among the worst hit by major flooding in the Metro Detroit area over the weekend. The severe storms also knocked out power to thousands.
Four days later, many neighborhoods, specifically in the South End area of Dearborn, are still in the dark.
DTE Energy power outages have ranged from more than 50,000 outages, down to below 15,000 outages over the last four days, but one thing remains consistent -- Dearborn is in the dark.
DTE Energy offered the following:
Two DTE substations in the Dearborn and Southwest Detroit areas sustained extensive damage from the heavy rains and resulting flooding that occurred overnight Friday into Saturday morning. The flooding in the substations left equipment inoperable, resulting in outages for approximately 12,000 customers.
Maybe they should spend more time and money on their infrastructure and less on their social programs.
Just sayin'
