Sandy Wreaks Havoc In U.S., Blows Into Canada

Southern Ontario, Quebec and parts of the Maritimes are being lashed by superstorm Sandy this morning as the massive weather system churns its way north. The destructive post-tropical storm has already wheeled through the northeastern U.S. _ where it has been responsible for flooding, widespread power outages and at least 16 deaths. It's now walloping parts of Canada with strong winds and heavy rain. Southern Ontario is expected to bear the brunt of the storm today, with powerful winds being more of a concern for forecasters than the rain. Those gusts claimed a life in Toronto last night. Police say a woman was killed by a falling sign as winds blowing at about 65 kilometres per hour whipped the city. Hydro One says about 60-thousand of its customers are without power. We've had a number of power outages reported by Hydro One in our area this morning. A large number of customers are without power in Blandford Blenheim Township. Residents should still be prepared for the possibility of prolonged power outages today. We will continue to monitor the situation and pass along any information once it is available.
