  • Ice Storm

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ROB MCCART on Sat Apr 5 08:53:00 2025
    But that freezing rain was in a pretty band, maybe 25 miles wide
    (and hundreds of miles long), and everyone above or below that strip
    got different weather that was a lot easier to deal with..

    I have seen photos and video from the Michigan part of the storm. There
    are places that are going to be lucky to have any trees... or power
    poles... left. :0

    Hello Rob!

    Yes, my sister still doesn't have power back on. It is
    supposed to be back on by late Sunday if they are to be
    believed.. They said mine would be out for 10 hours and it
    turned into 27 hours.

    No real issues to the east and south of Algonquin here. I had
    a few brief brownouts, and a few glitches, but nothing lasting.

    It was certainly incredible to see the swath of outages all
    over the more southern parts of Ontario on the stormcenter
    website.

    Yes, my sister's power is still out after 7 days and the National News mentioned only the area closest to her saying that there are still
    100,000 people there without power and, due to flooding following the
    freezing rain, it will be days before some of them get power back.

    They mentioned they have 3000 Hydro (Power) workers there working
    on it so it's not like they aren't doing their best to fix it..
