Yesterday’s severe storm, bringing rain, lightning, and dangerously high winds, caused elevated electric power outages in portions
of NIPSCO’s Northern Indiana service area. The company’s website estimated approximately 301,000 of the company’s 500,000 customers were affected.
Based on outage numbers, the most impacted communities included most of Lake County, LaPorte, and the southern portion of Marshall County.
Storm damage, extensive vegetation debris, flooding, and power outages created hazardous conditions and traffic backups across the area, making it difficult for our crews to assess and address damage promptly.
As of late Tuesday night, crews were actively working to restore service safely and as quickly as possible.
