INDIANAPOLIS (AP): Indiana's major electric utilities are reporting more than 40,000 power outages around the state while temperatures plunge below zero.
 
       The largest number of outages was in Indianapolis, where some 26,000 homes and businesses were reported without electricity Monday morning. A couple thousand outages each were reported in the Terre Haute area, Tipton County and in Adams County.
 
       Sunday's heavy snowfall and strong winds gusting to 35 mph at times have caused many tree limbs to come down on power lines.
 
       Numerous shelters have been opened around the state to assist those without power or stranded travelers.
