This is crazy

A big part of Genesee Count, MI lost power. All of the schools in the affected areas closed down and the earliest estimation of power restoration was 7pm. They reported it involved multiple sub stations but they didn't know what caused it. 24,000 homes and businesses were in the dark

Now, just an hour later, it's all back up and running. I imagine the schools have already released the students.

Crazy chaos.

no Internet, flashing lights but finally the lights came on!

I feel for this county in Michigan.
