Power Outage in Canada
Thousands of clients are without power across Quebec after a winter storm dumped 60 to 100 centimetres of snow in the Lanaudiere and Laurentian regions. Approximately 130,000 households were without electricity this morning, according to Sophie Lamoureux, director of regional affairs at Hydro Quebec. Lamoureux said that many Hydro Quebec clients will have to wait until tomorrow evening before their power is restored. The Laurentians is one of the most affected areas, where close to 77,000 people are without power. Many in the Lanaudiere and Outaouais regions were also left in the dark. Yesterday’s heavy, wet snowfall was the main cause of the power outages, according to Lamoureux. She said the snow, combined with strong winds, brought down trees in heavily wooded areas in the Lanaudiere region and the Laurentians. She said Hydro Quebec crews are working to restore electricity. They have also asked for extra assistance from other regions of the province that were less affected. In many regions of Quebec, drivers are dealing with icy, snow-covered roads. Transports Quebec is urging drivers to be cautious, as the holiday season means roads will be busier than normal. There have been several reports of cars sliding off the road in the greater Montreal area. This morning, Transports Quebec banned all trucks from Highway 138, between Tadoussac and Baie-Comeau in the North Shore, as well as between Saint-Urbain and Ferland-et-Boileau, in the Charlevoix region.
