UPDATE: Crews work to restore power following storm

Posted:

Severe thunderstorms that moved through Michiana knocked out power to thousands of customers.

Some of the viewing area was under a tornado warning, although luckily there were no reports of a tornado touching ground.

Damage was pretty widespread throughout the area.

Trees and power lines were down all over.

One Mishawaka homeowner woke up to the siding ripped off his house and a fence on top of his car.

The big story with the storm was power outages. In fact, thousands are still without power Sunday according to Indiana-Michigan Power.

Here's the latest on the restoration process:

I & M says more than 13,000 customers initially lost power.

Power has since been restored to more than half.

I&M hoped to restore power to all customers in Elkhart County by Sunday afternoon.

Folks in St. Joseph and LaPorte, may not be back online until late Monday.
