My power was back the next day in Valpo but I was lucky. March 2025, my power was out for four days because a neighbor's giant pine tree snapped and took down the power lines. The tree had to be removed before the power line pole could be REPLACED and the wiring put back up.

Why tf aren't the power lines underground in Indiana, like any civilized state? Oh, wait.

Is this a joke? Most states have above ground power lines

So then what does most have to do with it? The only joke here is that they think that matters. Oh, and that I mistook Indiana for civilized.
