Some homes and businesses in Gary, Indiana, remain without power 13 days after severe storms damaged the city. The storms, which hit earlier this month, left large parts of the predominantly Black neighborhood in darkness for two weeks. Kimya Williams, a local resident, described the situation as all-too-familiar, highlighting the prolonged disruption.
Authorities have not yet provided a full estimate of the damage, but reports suggest the outage has affected thousands. Emergency services have been working to restore power, but the process has been slow. Many residents have relied on generators or alternative energy sources during the blackout.
The prolonged outage has raised concerns about the city’s infrastructure and emergency response. Local leaders have called for faster restoration efforts and additional support for affected residents. The situation remains under review as officials continue to assess the full impact of the storms.
