Indiana Residents Face 11th Day Without Power
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Utility companies must focus on grid hardening and faster restoration to avoid such protracted outages in at-risk communities.
💡 Why it matters
This prolonged blackout exposes how inadequate infrastructure disproportionately hurts poor areas like Gary, deepening inequality.
More than 33,000 residents in northwest Indiana remain without electricity for 11 days after severe storms knocked down power lines. The outage has led to food lines, closed businesses, and spoiled food, with Gary's poor community living in survival mode.
