how you folks doing?

Did you lose power, and if so, approx. where are you located?

Hope it comes back on for you soon, or it's going to get cold.

Best wishes to you all!

The outage was on Detroit's Public Lighting and thus only effected public buildings. It was all mostly municipal operations like the police, fire, school, the DIA, the People Mover, etc. No residential customers.

This has been an ongoing issue with the DPL as the system is pretty old and hasn't been modernized in decades. There's been at least one complete downtown outage every year for the last few years and even more localized to specific buildings. The city is in the process of transferring the system over to DTE.
