Overall, 57 poles, 25 crossarms and 16 transformers were damaged during the storm, according to I&M.
Crews have been working to restore power since Monday afternoon, but I&M did not have restoration times available at noon.
Anyone who sees a downed power line is asked to call 1-800-311-4634 to report it.
