NIPSCO’s Biggest Outage Ever | Chicago News

Northwest Indiana is reeling from the worst power outage in NIPSCO history, leaving 300,000 without electricity as 124 mph winds tore through, snapping trees, downing lines, and wrecking substations. Crews are racing against time amid flooded roads and blocked access, while residents scramble across state lines for generators and gas—some even facing home rewiring before power returns. With over 1,200 contractors and mutual aid teams working around the clock, restoration is a multi-day marathon with no firm timeline yet. For families with medical needs or spoiled food, this isn’t just an outage—it’s a crisis. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
