UPDATED: Overnight Storms Take Out Power for About 2,000 Farmington Area Homes

Power has been out since early this morning for residents in a wide swath from 8 Mile to 11 Mile. The outage also affects two Farmington schools, which are operating on partial power.

UDPATE: announced on its Facebook page this morning that storm damage has closed its swimming pool. 

According to the post: "We have multiple power lines down, too many tree limbs in and around the pool. At this point, we are waiting for DTE to remove and fix the downed power lines and restore power. Once the power is restored, the grounds and pool will be cleared of the tree branches, and the pool will need to be shocked." 

About 2,000 Farmington area residents remain without power this morning, after overnight storms that took out power lines and damaged trees.
