FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Yesterday’s strong winds left thousands of Indiana Michigan Power customers in the dark.

The Fort Wayne-based utility says more than 14,000 customers in Indiana and Michigan either lost power completely or were otherwise affected in some way. Winds that gusted to over 60 miles per hour at times downed more than 30 utility poles and more power lines.
