ICYMI: As many as four people may have died as a result of the storm, which had wind gusts reaching 110 kilometres an hour on Friday night; @TorontoHydro officials say workers are on the 'last legs' of the power restoration process. #onstorm https://t.co/vqpxOlRmSb— TorontoStar (@TorontoStar) May 6, 2018
Hydro One has restored approximately 370,000 customers across the province. There are approximately 138,000 customers without power. We estimate about 80,000 customers may be without power overnight. All available crews are responding to outages as quickly and safely as possible and additional crews have been mobilized to the hardest hit areas. We appreciate your patience while we work to repair the significant damage these winds caused to our system.

High winds and thunderstorms are causing power outages for over 126,000 customers throughout Ontario. All available crews are responding to outages as quickly and safely as possible and additional crews are being mobilized to the hardest hit areas. #ONstorm
From Hydro One:
The storm has not moved as quickly as forecast through southern Ontario and has left behind significant damage. Central and Eastern regions are still feeling the full force of the 90-110 km/h gusting winds and we will not have a handle on the full scope of damage until the morning when the wind has passed into Quebec overnight. Damage assessment and safe movement of crews in the morning will be our first priority, so estimated times of restoration may fluctuate as we gather more information.
At this time, all available crews are being mobilized in each region, and we appreciate your patience while we tackle this extreme damage.
Currently 10,000 customers without power in southern Ontario, a number likely to climb as winds intensify through this afternoon.— The Weather Network (@weathernetwork) May 4, 2018

The fury of Mother Nature can be disastrous. All we can do is to pray for Mercy. It helps. We'll need a lot of Mercy in the upcoming years as climate is getting more and more anomalous and people more indulgent (cars, planes etc...).
I'm glad our power outage didn't last to long up in the Valley. We are quite used to 24-48 hrs. outages I guess.
June has been very wet so far up this way. Our rain barrels, which aren't even hooked up to the eaves troughs yet, are FULL!
Another weird month!
I wonder what June will bring your way!!!
Take Care
All the best Jan
