California got a brief break from severe weather after a powerful storm swelled Los Angeles-area rivers to dangerous levels, flooded roads and dumped snow.
Storm clouds and snow are seen over the San Gabriel mountain range behind Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills, in Los Angeles on Feb. 26, 2023.Some Michigan residents faced a fourth straight day without power Sunday as crews continued work to restore electricity more than 165,000 homes and businesses in the greater Detroit area following last week’s ice storm.
With her husband traveling out of town, Thomas said it was up to her to recharge the battery to their home’s backup sump pump Sunday with her car. She went to multiple stores to find a long cable for the task.But with the local school district on mid-winter break, Thomas said some of their neighbors have been out of town and will be returning to find a mess from burst water pipes and flooded basements.
She said power restoration efforts have proven time-consuming because of the large number of damaged lines, including individual lines linking single homes on the grid. Hecht said that was the second-largest number of outages DTE has ever experienced, topped only by a March 2017 wind storm that cut power to about 800,000 of its customers.“The icing event we had this week is equivalent to a hurricane for coastal utilities. It was the amount of ice and high winds — the winds and the amount of ice accumulation on lines and branches,” she said.
