Indiana Storm Leaves 9K Without Power | Spokane News
Description
Power outages linger for thousands in northwestern Indiana nearly two weeks after a devastating derecho slammed the region with 70-100 mph winds, leaving over 374,000 without electricity. In Gary alone, nearly 9,000 remain in the dark—with some facing possible restoration until mid-September. Governor Mike Braun has condemned delays, deploying the National Guard to aid crews as NIPSCO scrambles to bring in reinforcements from across the country. Residents are frustrated and weary, while utility officials stress that timelines are estimates and individual homes may take longer due to localized damage. This isn’t just a storm—it’s an inland hurricane-sized disaster still unfolding.
