Severe storms that brought record rainfall and widespread flooding continue to leave parts of Indiana without electricity. CBS News reports that in Gary, residents are still facing power outages 11 days after the storms, with many describing worsening hardship as they wait for repairs.
BBC Sport’s coverage focuses on the situation 12 days after the storms and also highlights Gary, describing a community where a significant share of residents live in poverty. It says residents describe being in a prolonged “survival mode,” with daily life disrupted for nearly two weeks. Both outlets link the outages to the impact of the storms and flooding, but they differ in emphasis: CBS News presents more detail about the extended duration of outages and the scale of the flooding’s effects across the region, while BBC Sport underscores the lived experience of residents in the hardest-hit neighborhoods of Gary.
