Thunderstorms are possible today, and there is even an isolated strong thunderstorm chance. Seeing a cluster of storms moving in up west now (as of 1:50 p.m. ADT). I know a lot of folks are outside cleaning up and repairing damage, but please head indoors a 1st sound of thunder!
When clearing branches and trees in your yard, do NOT attempt to cut down trees near power lines, including downed lines. Hiring a qualified utility arborist is always the best option. If a tree does fall on a line, assume the tree and line are energized and call 1-800-670-1012.
Just passed a woman on the street waiting for the bus (not running today) to take her to the QEH for an appointment which might have been cancelled but she had no idea.
Communications could be better, I guess, but under the circumstances…
Capital Drive and North River Rd leading into the Esso are backed up a long way. It’s a similar scene at other gas stations that are open. One driver told me he’s been waiting since 5 am to fill up.
Don't throw out that ketchup. I've booked @DrJen_taylor to take a call from us this afternoon, and there may be a few items from our fridges we can salvage.
Yesterday, crews were able to restore power to approx. 4,500 customers, including the QEH and essential fuel supply. While we are not currently able to provide restoration times for individual areas, crews are working as quickly as possible to safely restore power.
