Utility Crews Working Feverishly to Restore Power

(Merrillville, IN) - Tens of thousands of NIPSCO customers are still without power following Monday’s strong storm. NIPSCO spokesperson Megan Henning says there were 96,000 customers

across their entire service territory without service at 10 o’clock last night.

 

That number was down to about 46,000 late this morning from crews working around the clock to restore power. Henning says it’s going to be another day or two before service is restored for some customers due to the extent of the storm-related damage.

 

Indiana Michigan Power Company reports more than 50 thousand outages. About 20 percent of those customers had service restored by about 9 o’clock this morning.
