Indiana residents still without power 12 days after severe storms hit

Thousands of Indiana residents continue to be without electricity more than 12 days after severe storms struck the region. The hardship is particularly acute in Gary, a town where approximately one-third of the population lives in poverty. Residents there have described their daily lives as being in 'survival mode' as they struggle to cope with the prolonged outage. The situation highlights the disproportionate impact of storm-related infrastructure failures on low-income communities.
