>> Thanks for joining us tonight. I'm Shaina Humphries. The storms have moved out of the area but they left behind all kinds of damage. Power poles snapped in half and lines torn down cutting power to a couple hundred thousand customers. We've got people sending in pictures and videos like this from all across metro Detroit. >> We have team coverage tonight. Our Kelly Vaughen is looking at how data is handling those outages. But we begin with Jack Springer live in St Clair Shores with a look at the damage there. What have you. AC Well, McComb County Emergency Services say this area right along the lakeshore is dealing with a lot of that same storm damage that we're seeing all around southeast Michigan. And that includes uprooted trees, fallen branches and even some downed power lines. The same can be said for where I'm standing right now here in St Clair Shores. There's barely a single light along this street and we'll have the camera turn around just so you can take a look at what I'm seeing right now. It is pitch black out here because of power outages after a massive tree took down one of the power lines right at the edge of Jefferson AV. Just south of 11 mile. This is actually what it looked like a little earlier So you can all get a better look at what I was seeing. Now the road isn't only blocked off because of the tree that fell down but also because of the downed power line here. I saw several other spots along Jefferson Ave where broken tree limbs were stressing wires as well. It's been a busy night for cleanup crews who've pulled over at numerous different spots to collect some of those bigger branches that are obstructing driveways and neighborhood streets as the rain continues to come down. With downed power lines comes those pitch black neighborhoods where residents are either relying on candles, flashlights or generators just to make it through the night. Luckily we have a generator and I think we're going to camp out downstairs and make the best of it. Our our phones are at 3,040%. So we'll see what happens. And if you thought that storm damage was bad, just take a look at what we saw in Dearborn. This home couldn't avoid the tree that collapsed right in its front yard taking apart of its porch with it. And that just goes to show how widespread this storm damage is throughout southeast Michigan. Reporting in St
