Update from Hydro One: Many will be without power until Thursday, hope for earlier restorations for others

For many there had been hope that 11 o’clock last night would have seen the lights come back on.

While it happened for some, the outage map is still dotted with dozens of outages across our listening area.

The biggest is affecting close to 1,500 customers could be restored by 6 tonight. Its in an area stretching to the north and south of Franktown.

Another large one is affecting customers in an area to the north-east of Perth. Innisville and Ferguson Falls are right in the middle of it. They don’t expect power back there until Thursday night at 11.

Thursday seems to be the target for most outages in the region right now, while they still haven’t gotten to others.

The most common cause of the outages in our listening area are trees on lines, trees breaking lines, and broken power poles.
