Strong thunderstorms and high winds caused elevated electric power outages across Northern Indiana Monday, August 29.
NIPSCO and KVREMC crews continue their work to assess damage, make necessary repairs and restore power as safely and quickly as possible.
NIPSCO announced that approximately 12,000 customers were affected. KVREMC announced that 2,246 customers in Starke County were affected as well as 777 in Pulaski County.
An estimate on when power will be restored is not able to be determined at this time.
NIPSCO and KVREMC both remind you to stay away from downed power lines, damaged poles or other hazardous situations. Every downed wire should be treated as though it is a live wire.
