All right, thanks Amber. More than 100,000 customers are still without power across Michigan as a result of yesterday's storms. Here's a look at the consumer energy outage map. Most of the customers without power are northeast of Grand Rapids near Cedar Springs and along 14 mile road near Greenville, there are also many people without service in Ionia County. Consumers energy is asking people for patience and reminding drivers to slow down around their restoration crews. Our team is working um around the clock to get power back up and running. So please be alert to crews working along road size. Drivers should slow down or stop and wait for oncoming traffic to clear so that they can safely pass around. Power is expected to be restored to everyone by late tomorrow. In the meantime, consumers energy is giving out water to people affected by the storm. 13 on your sides. Kelly Lichter joins us, live in Courtland Township near Rockford. Kelly. When does distribution begin Veronica, the water and ice distribution starts here behind the Courtland Township Hall at 1 p.m. today. Consumers energy is already setting up for the event here in the parking lot they say they're doing what they can to help, which is needed by some in the area. One Rockford resident says she was told her power would not return for 15 hours. She says luckily her power was returned around 8 p.m. yesterday, but she's still without internet. But whether it's internet or energy, it's been a waiting game. I wish they'd be a little bit more updating things. So we're kind of just waiting just like everybody else in this area. We're all just waiting. Consumers. Energy will have trucks parked out here behind the Courtland Township Hall and the Courtland Township Fire Department. As you can see, they're already setting up and they'll be out here until the water and ice is gone. Live in Courtland Township. I'm Callie Lichter 13 on your side.
