Stormy Disconnection: A Crisis of Power and Privilege Tens of thousands of people in northwest Indiana remain without power a week after deadly storms swept through, exposing deep fault lines in the region's infrastructure and social fabric.
Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIPSCO) officials claim crews are working around the clock to restore electricity, but residents on the ground paint a different picture: one of neglect and inequality.
The crisis is concentrated in Lake County, where Gary is located, with 75,000 customers still without power as of writing.
