Crews are currently addressing a number of power outages caused by the weather. Thank you for your patience as we work to safely restore power as quickly as possible. You can report an outage and view the current estimated restoration times at https://t.co/avqRpTySXS.
Extreme wind can cause tree branches to break and fall on power lines. If a tree touches or brings down a power line, do not attempt to remove branches or trees from wires. Electricity can travel through any object that touches the wire.
If you see a power line on the ground or one that is sparking, stay back at least 10 metres and call 911.
