More than 100,000 people across Quebec spent a second night without power after high winds and freezing rain on Monday left ice accumulated on trees and knocked down power lines.
As of 6 a.m. local time Wednesday, Hydro-Quebec's website says 109,150 customers are still without power, most of them in the Lanaudiere, Basses-Laurentides and Laval regions north of Montreal.It says more than 500 crews have been "doing their best to restore power as soon as possible," but without a break in the weather some areas may not see their service restored until Thursday.
Premier Francois Legault called on people to exercise caution and get in touch with their towns if they need a place to stay. Laval Mayor Marc Demers urged families and neighbours to look out for one another. "If you have members of your family -- parents, brothers, sisters -- who are in a zone that's lacking electricity, check in on their situation to make sure we're not forgetting someone in distress," Demers said.
