It says crews are finding more extensive damage than anticipated. Consumers Energy says about 9,000 customers remained without power after service to 130,000 was restored. In the Detroit suburb of Warren, a fallen power line sparked a fire that destroyed 10 vehicles at a used car dealership. Heavy rains caused scattered flooding and easterly winds were blamed for
