Hydro One Working To Bring Back Power Following Violent Storm

Following a weekend of sun and hardly a cloud in the sky, Ontarians were walloped by a spring thunderstorm Monday.

Hydro One employees have been working around the clock to restore power to thousands of homes left in the dark following the violent band of thunderstorms that ripped across the province in the evening.

The intense weather, including heavy rains and winds of up to 100 km/h that lifted roofs off houses and uprooted trees, left about 17,000 customers in the dark.
