#PurdueEAPS professor Dan Chavas spoke with the @Suntimes about the derecho that brought winds up to 99 mph to Gary, Indiana, and why these storms can cause damage across such a large area. Read more: chicago.suntimes.com/2026/08… #PurdueEAPS #ExtremeWeather

How 99 mph winds left Gary in the dark for nearly two weeks

Saturated soil contributed to trees falling and taking out power lines, but there’s more to why Gary’s outage has lasted so long.
