Many roads are still blocked by down trees, bright spot, too many to count DTE(MI) Duke, and Seco trucks working non stop.
FEMA inspectors started late Wednesday, and will be in his neighborhood Sunday. Power possibly Monday, or sooner according to the DTE guy, working in their yard, cell reception is very sketchy, bottle water only. Some businesses are running generators, one gas station open.

They were surprised on the progress, considering how bad it was when they left. It looks like an old fashioned logging community.
I have family in Greenville (N. Greenville, in the mountains). It’s brutal up there and many people still have no power.
