High wind knocks out power to 413,000 in Michigan

---

DETROIT, Dec 29 (AP): Wind gusting more than 60 mph knocked out power to about 413,000 Michigan homes and businesses Sunday as temperatures dipped back into the 20s and 30s.
Meanwhile, flood warnings were posted throughout the Midwest as temperatures rose after a week of heavy snowfall. Forecasters said flooding was possible in areas of Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and Indiana.
In Michigan, high wind knocked down tree limbs and power lines. Parts of the state also got about four inches of snow.
"We've had an intensifying storm system track northeast through the state," said Mark Sekelsky, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids. Detroit-based DTE Energy Co. said about 230,000 lost power Sunday, mostly in Wayne and Oakland counties. Crews were working, but spokesman Scott Simons said 10 percent of the 155,000 customers blacked out Sunday night would have to remain without power into Thursday.
