Gary blackout through the eyes of IU senior Atlas Chavez

News

A derecho with winds near 100 mph, the force of a Category 2 hurricane, tore through Northwest Indiana on Aug. 11 and knocked out power to roughly 375,000 customers — about 80% of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company's electric customers and the largest outage in the utility's history. In Gary, more than 38,000 homes and businesses went dark, and some stayed that way for two weeks.
