Although power has been restored to most areas, Indiana Michigan Power is still working to restore power to more than 2,000 customers in some of the hardest hit areas of Michiana.

Monday's ice and wind storm knocked down trees, power lines and power poles throughout Michiana. The hardest hit areas included South Bend, Elkhart and Berrien County.
