Power outages linger in Madison County area after ice storm
About 200 residents north of Anderson remained without power Saturday as Indiana Michigan Electric crews worked to restore service after Friday’s ice storm. Peak outages affected 3,000 to 3,500 customers statewide, with repair teams from South Bend en route. Public Service Indiana reported earlier outages in Pendleton and Fortville were resolved, while Meadow Woods remained the largest remaining trouble area near Highland High School. The storm brought ice, sleet, and up to 10 inches of snow across Illinois, Indiana, and nearby states, with major disruptions to Chicago transit and local utilities. Flooding concerns continued along the Maumee in Fort Wayne, where 2,000 residents evacuated since Tuesday. Damage exceeded $10 million in some Fort Wayne lowlands.
