UPDATE: Another 1,905 DTE customers lost power at around 6:20 p.m. today, adding to a DTE Energy report of 487 customers without power on either side of Northwestern Highway in Farmington Hills.
The company's website shows that the Northwestern outage stretches between Inkster and Orchard Lake, in a roughly rectangular area. The company reports that power will be restored sometime between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. today.
The larger cluster is located between Orchard Lake and Drake Roads, from I-696 to about a half-mile north of 13 Mile. DTE estimates restoration of power there between 10:30 p.m. Monday and 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Did DTE give a reason for the outage(s)?

Don, the website lists the Northwestern outage as an area outage and the other as being caused by an auto-protection device. I have a call in to DTE for more information.
