Around 400 in Birmingham Without Power Saturday

High winds are "most likely" the cause of the outage of the more than 400 DTE customers in Birmingham Saturday afternoon, DTE Spokesman John Austerberry said.

Austerberry said that though he didn't have specifics on individual outages, he said that the DTE was reporting 42,000 outages service area-wide, with 7,500 in Oakland County, including the 401 in Birmingham and around 50 more in the neighboring Bloomfield Village.

"I don't have info on an individual outage right now but the big picture is we have 42,000 without power in the service area," he said. "We've returned power to about 5,000 but the wind seems to be creating more outages than we can restore."

Austerberry said that crews would be working through the day and night to restore power. At this time there is no estimation of restoration.

The largest outage in Birmingham is concentrated on the city's west side, north of Maple and west of . Additionally, small pockets of outages can also be found along Maple east of Woodward and south of Maple near .
