Tens of Thousands Without Power in Indiana After Severe Storms
In the aftermath of severe storms that struck Indiana over a week ago, tens of thousands of residents in Gary, Indiana, remain without power. The storms caused significant damage, including downed power lines and trees, leaving many communities struggling to recover. The situation is compounded by a heat dome gripping the southern United States, which is intensifying heat conditions across the region. Additionally, strong winds from the storms were reported to have flipped a car on an Ohio highway, and a powerful tornado caused further destruction in Appleton, Wisconsin. The ongoing recovery efforts highlight the widespread impact of these weather events. (Source time: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 18:59:00 GMT)
