100,000 without power in Ontario
The wind storm that swept the province earlier today continues to slip east of the region with wind speeds lowering slowly. In its wake is considerable damage and power outages. With numerous trees and power lines down, power is out to over 100,000 Hydro One customers, including over 15,000 in Leeds & Grenville and S D & G Counties. Winds have been reported in the 60-100km/h range. The bridge from Prescott, ON to Ogdensburg, NY has been reopened after being closed for several hours after a tractor trailer nearly tumbled over the side, knocked over by the strong winds. Winds should slowly abate tonight.
