Description
After three days in the dark, many AES Indiana customers have power.
Remnants of Hurricane Helene knocked out power to thousands of Hoosiers early Friday evening.
Aaron Jenkins and his wife got creative to pass the time, using things like a battery-operated light.
"Three AA batteries and I survived three days on that. Of course, I had my trusty flashlight, brought me some nice, fancy candles and you got to have your music," Jenkins said.
It was all part of his survival kit, along with using his grill to cook and even his vehicle to charge his cellphone.
Downed tree branches were still visible in an alley where many of his west Indianapolis neighbors used to park behind their homes.
The day after the storm, AES Indiana reported more than 30,000 customers without power. By midnight Monday, Sept. 30, less than 1,900 were left in the dark.
