(CBS-DETROIT) – Oakland County residents should be aware of tree damage, downed power lines, power outages and closed roads caused by the storm that passed through southeast Michigan Tuesday night.

The Oakland County Road Commission says several traffic lights are out due to power outages. When a light is out, drivers should consider the intersection a four-stop intersection.

Crews have been dealing with downed trees all night and will continue to do so on Wednesday. If a tree has caused power lines to fall, DTE Energy crews will need to address that issue before the highway department can remove the tree.

The following roads in Oakland County are closed due to downed power lines and trees:

  • Southfield Road, between 12 Mile and 13 Mile Road on the border of Southfield and Beverly Hills
  • Welch Road, Oakley Park Road to Pontiac Trail in Commerce Township
  • Wixom Road, just west of the intersection of North Wixom Road/Wixom Road/Glengary in Commerce Township
  • Milford Road (south) at Rowe Road in Milford Township
  • West Buno Road west of Maple Beach Drive in Milford Township
  • Hickory Ridge Road at Wardlow Road in Highland Township
  • Eagle Road south of Ranch Road in Rose Township
  • Scott Road east of Hall Road in Springfield Township
  • Tipscio Trail west of Hickory Ridge Road in Rose Township

Thousands of Michigan residents are without power after the heavy storms. The National Weather Service issued several Thunderstorm warnings and observations in Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties and other areas in southeastern Michigan.

DTE Energy offers Updates on power restoration efforts at 11 a.m. According to DTE Energy, power will be restored to 90 percent of customers by the end of Thursday.
