JACKSON, MI (WTVB) – With summer heat on the rise and forecasts calling for the potential of severe weather, Consumers Energy says they have mobilized and begun to position over 485 crews to respond.
Tuesday, Consumers began moving trucks and essential materials, as well as mobile storm units that can move supplies closer to crews, in the areas expected to be hardest hit. Along with hundreds of crews from Consumers Energy, contract crews from their Midwest partner energy companies have been called in to help.
Severe thunderstorms with the possibility of large hail, damaging winds and possible tornados are expected to impact much of the southern lower peninsula throughout the evening and into Thursday morning. This weekend, extreme heat is in the forecast statewide.
