Some of the outages have been caused by high winds downing trees in the region.

A wind advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service for several counties including Lapeer, Genesee, Saginaw, Midland, Bay, Huron, St. Clair, Tuscola, and Sanilac.

Sustained west winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour are expected, with gusts up to 50 mph.

“Damaging winds could blow down large tree limbs and power lines,” the advisory reads. “Power outages are possible. Tents may be blown over. Travel could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.”
