Michigan Braces for Storms: Energy Company Steps Up

A major energy provider in Michigan is taking action to help people get ready for a big storm coming this Sunday. They are sending out 200 teams to fix any power problems that might happen. The National Weather Service says heavy rain and thunderstorms will start early in the morning and last all day. This storm is expected to be the first big one of the fall season. The energy company has already set up workers in Grand Rapids, Jackson, and Mount Pleasant. These places might get hit the hardest. The company's leader said they are ready to help if the storm causes any damage or power outages. Workers are prepared to work all night if needed. They can work up to 16 hours at a time. People in Michigan are being told to get ready for the storm. They should charge their phones, have flashlights and extra batteries, and keep some food and water ready. They should also unplug sensitive electronics and turn off power strips. The energy company has a website where people can check for outages and get more information. It's important for everyone to be prepared and stay safe during the storm.
