Thousands of DTE Energy customers in Superior Township and northern Ypsilanti Township found themselves without power this morning.
A tree fell on power lines on Ridge Road in Ypsilanti Township near the DTE substation around 8:30 a.m. today, knocking out power to about 4,500 customers, said Scott Simons, DTE spokesman.
Crews are working on the problem, Simons said, and power should be restored by 1 p.m.
