Indiana Braces for Prolonged Outages After Severe Storms

Indiana is enduring an 11th day without power after storms toppled trees and power lines, with 33,124 customers still affected and Gary among the hardest-hit areas awaiting restoration. Officials say progress has been made but outages can spike again, while a proposed class-action accuses NIPSCO of inadequate vegetation management. Gov. Braun has requested expedited FEMA disaster assistance for 54 counties, and a federal emergency declaration is in place, providing relief options including grants up to $5,000 for affected residents.
