In Quebec, more than 220,000 homes and businesses had no electricity just after noon. The province's power utility said the affected area ranged from Gatineau, Que., in the west to Montreal's suburbs, with strong gusts and broken tree branches cutting power lines.
Hydro-Québec didn't say when power would be restored to some locations where damage was more extensive, but it said it was confident the majority of clients would have power back by the end of the day. "Recovery time is not currently known for many locations as our teams are still assessing damage on the ground."
Ontario's hydro utility said more than 40,000 customers were without power at around noon. In a statement earlier in the day Hydro One said it had restored power to some 125,000 customers since the storm began.
