CenterPoint Energy said Tuesday that all customers affected by Monday afternoon’s severe thunderstorms in southwestern Indiana have had service restored. Crews worked through the night and into Tuesday morning to bring power back after the storms moved across the region.
Officials said more than 95% of CenterPoint Energy customers kept electricity through the severe weather, limiting the scale of the outage response. The utility said it remained prepared for additional severe weather expected to move through the region Tuesday afternoon and into Tuesday evening.
Monday’s storms hit southwestern Indiana hard enough to trigger a rapid restoration effort, but the utility said the overnight work kept the disruption contained and brought every impacted customer back online by Tuesday. That matters because the same system was still a concern later in the day, with more severe weather forecast for the afternoon and evening hours.
CenterPoint Energy said customers can check its latest outage information for updates. The company’s response also fits a broader utility focus on storm readiness in southwestern Indiana, where crews are often called to move fast between one round of weather and the next.

The immediate question now is whether Tuesday’s next round of storms stays away from the same areas that were hit on Monday. CenterPoint said it is ready either way, and for now, every customer knocked out by the first wave has been restored.
