A spring storm of snow, wind and rain hit Quebec and Ontario early Thursday, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in the dark.
Hydro-Québec reported upwards of 280,000 customers were without power as of 9 a.m., with affected areas ranging from near Gatineau to Montreal’s eastern suburbs.
The public utility says more than 1,000 workers were working to get the lights back on and additional teams will be brought in throughout the day.
“The storm is not yet over and is still moving. New outages could occur during the day, with significant wind gusts expected in several areas,” Hydro-Québec said in a message on social media.
