A fierce storm system that brought thunder, lightning and freezing rain to parts of Quebec and Ontario has more than a million hydro customers still in the dark.
One week after a severe wind and thunderstorm swept through Ontario and Quebec, just over 48,000 homes in the two provinces were still without power on Saturday, May 28, 2022.
Power outages caused by the powerful and deadly storm that swept across Ontario and Quebec on Saturday, May 21, 2022, are stretching into another day, as hydro providers warned customers they could be waiting even longer for things to be fully restored.
Emergency crews rushed to restore power and clear roads on Sunday, May 22, 2022, a day after a deadly and destructive storm swept across southern Ontario and Quebec, though officials cautioned that some of the outages could take days to resolve.
