(Fish Lake, IN) - The clean-up from the storm on Sunday is ongoing in Fish Lake.

 

La Porte County Commissioner Steve Holifield, a farmer in nearby Mill Creek, said there were dozens of fallen trees along with utility poles down. There were also homes that had their roofs blown off.

 

Holifield said there were still some roads closed Tuesday from the storm damage in the community.

 

“I went Monday morning to try and take a load of straw to Rochester and I couldn’t get through Fish Lake because there was a telephone pole down blocking State Road 4,” he said.

 

Holifield said the damage in the community was being surveyed to determine if it was enough to qualify for funding to help in the recovery.

 

According to NIPSCO, there were still 90 customers without power this morning in the Walkerton/Fish Lake service area.

 

There were also more than 600 NIPSCO customers in the utility company’s Michigan City service territory still without power this morning along with just under 40 remaining outages in the La Porte area.

 

90 remaining outages were reported by NIPSCO in the Westville area.
