FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) — Over the past few days, severe weather and strong winds have struck the Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) coverage area.

As a result, customers have been left without power in northeast Indiana as well as in Muncie, South Bend, and southwest Michigan.

According to the company, around 35,000 were left without power due to severe weather on Thursday. Approximately 10,000 were left without power due to strong winds on Friday.

The company says a team of more than 1,750 restoration experts are working to restore power throughout its coverage area.

According to I&M officials, power should be restored in Muncie, South Bend, and southwest Michigan by around 11 p.m. Saturday, and in northeast Indiana by 8 p.m. Sunday.
