Hydro One crews in Timmins have been working non-stop to get power restored to thousands in Timmins following a major thunderstorm that worked its way through the region Wednesday afternoon.
A major power outage in the Timmins area has had Hydro One crews working non-stop in a bid to get the power restored.
At one point, there are reports of thousands of customers being knocked off the grid following a severe thunderstorm that worked its way through the region.
Hydro One can confirm some of the poles and lines were damaged in the storm. Some ongoing weather has also slowed their efforts to try and restore everyone.
Progress has since been made and at last check, 4,142 customers in around the 8 o’clock hour were out in roughly 11 different outages across the city.
In the meantime, they’re reminding everyone that if they should come across a downed wire to keep at least ten metres back, to call 9-1-1 and to notify Hydro One.
The power provider also has a feature on its website where you can plug your address into the map to report an outage or find more information about restoration.
