"More than 14,000 Hoosiers are without power just ahead of a days-long heat wave, according to a outage maps from AES and Duke Energy.
"Powerful storms that came through central Indiana on June 18 knocked out electricity for more than 67,000 AES customers and 69,000 Duke Energy customers. Most, but not all, have since had their service restored.
"As of about 8:30 a.m. on June 20, Duke reported 4,235 customers without power throughout the state. AES had 10,279 without power.
" 'Due to the extent of the damage to our service territory, and based on our assessment, we anticipate most remaining customers to be restored by midday Sunday,' a statement from AES read in part.
"An extreme heat wave will be in its second day at that point, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. Heat indices could spike into the triple digits on June 22 and June 23 as both the temperature and humidity levels climb to their highest levels so far this year.
" 'We know being without power in this heat is difficult ... our crews continue working around the clock to restore service,' an AES spokesperson said."
