Thursday night’s high winds hit our northern
#Indiana service area particularly hard, bringing down trees and damaging power lines and poles.
Nearly 40,000 customers were affected by outages. Crews have restored service to more than 27,000 with about 11,000 out of service as of late this morning, primarily in the Lafayette and Kokomo regions (photo below is from Howard County).
To speed power restoration, we have moved crews from areas less affected in the state, brought in contractors to supplement our local force, and mobilized additional support from our Ohio/Kentucky operations.
Please avoid any downed power lines, assume they are energized, and report them to us at 800-343-3525.
We appreciate our customers' patience as we work as quickly and safely as possible to restore power.
