00:00My Grange Hall Road between I-75 and Holly, so west of I-75, some pretty big damage.

00:07A lot of pine trees, it looks like, knocked down as well as electric lines.

00:11Has people veering here. We're right on the curve at Bush Lake, and everybody sees these trees,

00:18and then they see this power line, and then they have to move out of the way because of the power line there.

00:24So it's a situation of certainly downed trees and damage.

00:29I haven't seen any house damage, so there's maybe some good news,

00:33and I'm told that power could be restored by Saturday morning.
