Sorry to hear it - I hope she's OK. My wife's house (which we're trying to sell) is in Lansing. She heard there's a huge amount of damage all over the area - we'll need to go out there and clean up this week. It looked like you guys were hit early and often with the ice. Just down the road a bit, we were basically untouched. There's a small coating of ice on trees, but most of it came down as rain. Just a half-degree or less makes a huge difference in these things. DTE was telling us to expect up to a week without power just as the storm started. I hope those estimates were wrong and everyone gets to enjoy the holidays.
