Ice Storm Sweeps Across Midwest, Causing Widespread Power Outages

An intense ice storm has swept through the Midwest, severely impacting regions including Michigan, Wisconsin, and parts of Tennessee. The storm has led to significant power outages, with over 60,000 customers in central and northeast Wisconsin alone left without electricity, as reported by WSAW. In Michigan, Consumers Energy reported outages affecting thousands, with the utility's power outage map indicating widespread disruptions across the state.

The New York Times detailed the storm's effects on Michigan and Ontario, noting that the icy conditions have caused dangerous road situations and multiple accidents. The Associated Press highlighted the broader impact, stating that the storm system is moving across the Great Lakes region, bringing with it freezing rain and ice accumulations that are coating roads, trees, and power lines.

Authorities are urging residents to stay indoors if possible, and utility companies are working around the clock to restore power. The ice storm is expected to continue through the region, with more areas likely to be affected as it progresses.
