Progress was being made mid-week in returning power to thousands across Northern Michigan. Meanwhile, the Michigan National Guard has been deployed to help with recovery efforts.

GAYLORD, MI – Northern Michigan got hit with a major ice storm this past weekend, leaving ice-covered trees and power lines throughout. Thousands are still without power as crews continuously work to fix the damage through the grueling weather.

Downed trees and power lines after an ice storm in northern Michigan have led to the closure of several state parks in the region.
