If your power is out, this morning, you’re definitely not alone. That’s thanks to the severe weather that pushed through late last night and early this morning. ‘
As the clock approached midnight, Tuesday morning, July 16, tornado warnings were issued for nearly every county in the listening area.
Wind gusts topped 60, 70 even 80 miles per hour in widespread fashion from Berrien County in Michigan to Fulton County in Indiana and downed trees, limbs and power lines, with damage scattered in spots from Michigan City to Warsaw.
Indiana Michigan Power reported more than 27,000 power outages in northern Indiana and southern Michigan, the majority of which were in Michiana.

As far as the weather forecast goes, a welcome cold front comes through dropping temperatures by 10-15 degrees for the second half of the week. This front will continue to bring rain opportunities in the form of showers and lingering storms for Tuesday morning. We also see a few small chances for rain on Wednesday.
Wednesday through Saturday look sunny and seasonably mild, with highs in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees. A few lingering showers are possible Wednesday, but beyond that, we should remain rain-free for several days.

These power companies dont care about outages. The company in Indianapolis (AES) wont send crews out during night or early mornings because of money! Its been out here for 6 hours now, long after storms are gone, and not one crew to be found anywhere in area. Now if it affected their CEO or managements houses, they wouldnt be out longer than a minute. But keep hiking those rates though!!
