(AP) -- Repair crews from Michigan's largest utilities have worked to restore power to the last of about 239,000 electricity customers blacked out by thunderstorms. The storms that hit Friday night knocked downed trees across southern Michigan, killing a driver in Washtenaw County.

CMS Energy Corp.'s Consumers Energy unit said Sunday that about 19,500 of its 99,000 affected homes and businesses still remained without power.

The Washtenaw County sheriff's department says a man was killed Friday near Dexter when a tree fell onto his vehicle.
