Power outages throughout Muncie should be fixed by 3 p.m., a spokesperson for Indiana Michigan Power said. Tracy Warner, a spokesperson for Indiana Michigan Power, said the outages left around 2,300 without power, including the Muncie Mall. Warner said the largest area without power was about 1,500 people near the intersection of Bethel and Tillotson avenues. The outages were caused when snow weighed down trees to touch and interfere with the power lines. “We have tree crews working as quickly as they can to clear those, but the snow and the leaves on the ground make it more time consuming,” Warner said. He said the power near Bethel and Tillotson should be restored by 2 p.m., and other areas, including the Muncie Mall, should be fixed by 3 p.m. Warner said outages may be possible as Muncie moves into the winter season. “It’s just hard to say the extent to which you can predict the weather,” he said.
