Hundreds of Ontarians without power after weekend wind storm.

BY The Canadian Press, Dec 13, 2021 5:38 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Nearly 80,000 Ontarians remain without power on Sunday evening after high winds brought down trees and power lines across the southern part of the province on Saturday night.

Ontario utility Hydro One said crews are still working to restore power after Saturday's wind storm left about 490,000 customers in the dark.

"Our crews are in position and responding to significant power outages caused by Ontario's worst storm in recent years," said David Lebeter, Hydro One's chief operating officer.
