The post did not specifically allude to weather-related outages, but noted the storms “…may [have] produce[d] brief heavy rain, gusty winds and small hail through the evening.”
Later, NWS Indianapolis also posted that a special weather statement had been issued for Greenwood, Shelbyville and New Whiteland, with winds reaching up to 50 mph and half inch-sized hail possible. AES has not yet confirmed if these conditions played a factor in the outages.
