Today we address areas hardest hit by the storm. In Winnipeg, it could take long as 4 days for restoration; for the rest of the province, it may be 7-10 days.
If it's safe for you to travel - please stay with a friend or family member, or contact your RM about set up shelters.
The storm has left sections of our system severely damaged, meaning full restoration could take days – State of Emergency declared.

Unreal. Seeing longer stretches of snapped hydro poles in a row on the west side of Portage than I've ever seen with any severe thunderstorm or tornado in summer. #mbstorm@weathernetwork
