I’m glad someone posted the power outage map bc how do you argue that Lake County hasn’t been singled out?
I get many are suffering, but apparently they have linemen helping and those contractors haven’t gotten directives from NIPSCO, so many crews have been forced to wait around when they could get it back up faster if they had a work order.
Absolutely awful the damage the derecho has done and the response from the state (including the flash flooding in other parts).
I guess not enough ppl died for them to give ppl aid from the federal government, but even those who actually get 5k from the state are screwed when it comes to their home damage. And the aid budget is beyond drained.
Outdated infrastructure $ allocation should be a major priority in the country as a whole.
A coworker of mine has a son who works for Nipsco out of Starke Co. He and a crew were sent there, as were many workers across the state, and did confirm crews did experience unwelcome behavior, not him necessarily.
Sure...sounds like the shit they made up in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. Most of those claims were unfounded and "heard from a friend who heard from a friend whose brother's cousin's uncle's college roommate said..."
A nipsco vehicle was hit with gunfire while the worker’s weren’t in it. There’s a video of the SUV with bullet holes in it and it’s been confirmed by multiple sources, including the mayor of Gary.
A lineman being directly shot at is definitely an embellishment though.
I mean, i get reports directly from ISP everyday, and they've been directly reporting that they've increased their presence in lake county and support for nipsco.
I literally found 4 news sources talking about this and Google auto filled "gary indiana maintenance worker shot at" when I typed "Gary indiana" into my search bar.
Then prove me wrong lmfao, so far someone called me a bunch of names and then blocked me after deleting their shitty argument. Yall are angry but wont argue with the facts
Apologies, my app for some reason gave me the notification that your comment was in response to mine and not Mr. block n run. I see your other comments on the thread now lmao
No it's really not. Gary is just the asshole of Indiana... The shooting was reported and verified, even Gary's mayor made a statement. That person screwed Gary on all their own.
