Ice Storm Cripples Power, Business Keeps Running
During the brutal ice storm of 2007, thick glaze coated every branch and power line around Lakewoode Parkhomes, snapping lines like twigs. The neighborhood—nestled near Meadowbrook Lake—was plunged into a freezing, silent blackout that lasted days. Without heat or refrigeration, a local medical supply office faced ruined inventory and halted operations just as winter demand peaked. For businesses in this 1950s–1980s-built corridor, outages weren’t just inconvenient—they threatened survival.
We rolled in with a 100kW temporary generator within two hours, running cable through snow-packed driveways and bypassing damaged panels with OSHA 30–compliant safety protocols. Our EGSA-certified crew kept the unit humming through sub-32°F nights, maintaining critical temps for sensitive medical stock. Power stayed on until the grid stabilized, and the client avoided a total shutdown during one of Novi’s worst winter events.
Their generator kept our medicine cold and our doors open when everything else froze solid.
