'All we can do is pray.' Thousands without power nearly 2 weeks after Indiana storm

As thousands of northwestern Indiana residents remain without electricity nearly two weeks after a violent Aug. 11 storm, officials have taken to social media voicing frustration over the lengthy restoration delays.

Roughly 9,000 customers in Gary, Indiana, remained without electricity on Aug. 23, Gary Mayor Eddie Melton said in a video posted to the city's Facebook.

"We’re at Day 12 and 12 days is too long for families to be without power," Melton said. "Twelve days is too long for parents to worry about their children and for businesses to lose revenue and for families to wonder when the relief is finally going to come. I want you to know I share that frustration."

Why....is a relatively large city within a mega-metropolitan area in the world's wealthiest nation going without power for nearly 2 weeks now in 2026?

Shouldn't we be far more advanced than this by now?

While they're spending HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars shooting up the deserts in Iran, you have Gary and even cities in southern California experiencing rolling black-outs on the regular because of shitty out dated infrastructures.
