Multiple stories report that a severe ice storm in Ontario has left tens of thousands without power, though recent updates confirm that outages have now dropped below 70,000. Restoration teams from Hydro One and various utility partners are working under challenging conditions as significant damage is still being uncovered in affected areas. The coordinated efforts aim to restore power to homes and businesses, highlighting both the scale of the natural disaster and the resilience of the emergency response framework in the province.
