Times Staff Report

HAMMOND | Power is expected to be fully restored this morning after 650 customers were in the dark part of Saturday night.

By 9:30 p.m., only about 100 of those customers were still without power, NIPSCO spokesman Larry Graham said.

The areas still affected were between 169th and 171st streets, he said.

A downed wire was to blame for the outage, which darkened the Purdue University Calumet campus.
