Northwest Indiana Still in the Dark | Chicago News

Northwest Indiana is still reeling—over 270,000 without power a day after brutal storms tore through, leaving chaos in their wake. Stores are emptied as residents scramble for essentials, while gas stations become battlegrounds with lines snaking onto roads and people waiting hours for just a few gallons. Tensions flare as tempers snap under the strain. NIPSCO calls it their worst damage ever, with peaks hitting 300,000 outages, and they’ve deployed 1,200 out-of-state crews—but no timeline for full restoration. The governor’s eyeing a disaster declaration to unlock federal aid, especially as flooding hits downstate too. This isn’t over yet.
