For over a week, residents of Gary, Indiana, have been plunged into darkness as power outages persist, leaving seniors vulnerable and families scrambling. Yolanda Ojeda, 65, had a generator ready — but it failed her when she needed it most. With nearly 95,000 people still without electricity across NIPSCO’s service area, crews are working around the clock, even calling in the National Guard. Vulnerable neighbors like Ollicia England’s elderly relative, reliant on a heart monitor, face life-threatening conditions without power. Community resources are stretched thin — food vouchers are gone, and mobile markets are doing their best to help. Some residents blame years of neglected infrastructure, with Derek Zugic warning full restoration could take weeks. For now, many are forced to sit outside just to survive the heat — and wait for light to return.
