290K+: the number of customers in Northwest Indiana without power, the largest power outage in NIPSCO history, following Aug. 11 storms with 100 mph winds

12.77: total inches of rainfall reported in New Castle, Ind. between Aug. 10 and Aug. 16, more than a quarter of the community's typical annual rainfall

24.93: the White River's height in feet observed in Anderson, Ind., breaking the previous water level record set in 1913

7: deaths attributed to storms and flooding across Indiana

45%: increase in precipitation generated by the strongest storms in the Midwest today compared to the 1950s, according to the National Climate Assessment

2.12°F: amount global surface temperatures in July 2026 exceeded the 20th-century average, tying 2024 for the warmest July on record, according to NOAA
