An Indiana woman posts updates about living in a blackout for over a week. According to her TikTok channel, the power outage was caused by a tornado that went through her town of Gary. Her first two videos had the tally at 6 days without power. Additionally, she claims the situation is even more stressful as she lives in one of the “highest crime cities” in the state.
She describes the blackout as “one of the worst ever for Indiana.” The woman is nervous to return to her house due to alleged break-ins and people running up to cars. But she “can’t afford to stay in hotels any longer.” Another video she posted is from day 7 without power. She provides a little insight into efforts to restore power and how she (and her children) are doing. She explains, “I’m exhausted and hot, irritated and hungry.” The family is currently without food as the only locations, Family Dollar and a grocery store, are closed. The woman states, “That refrigerator is as empty as my soul.”
