Power Outage Struggles in Northwest Indiana | Chicago News

from Chicago News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Storms leave Northwest Indiana in the dark—over 100,000 still without power as crews battle downed lines and frustrated residents, especially in lower-income areas. Officials blast the utility for poor communication, while workers scramble to restore electricity by Wednesday. In Gary, people endure daily outages, relying on aid while waiting for answers. The power company vows to restore 90% by Tuesday, with full recovery by Friday, despite a weekend security scare when a crew vehicle was shot at—no injuries, but work paused briefly.
