Strong low pressure over the Midwest was responsible for the winds, which gusted over 60 mph in some cases. At least three people were hurt during the storm and thousands of flights were delayed or canceled.
At one point Monday more than 280,000 customers in the U.S. were without power, mostly in Michigan. About 95,000 customers in the Wolverine State were still waiting for the lights to come on by morning.
