We survived, but it was so COLD in the house! The only good place was in bed with all three of us huddled together. Brrrrr.Canadian Press: TORONTO — Toronto has opened seven city-run facilities to help people keep warm until a major power outage that hit the city overnight is repaired.
About 22,000 Toronto Hydro customers lost electricity when a broken water main flooded a power station at about 10 p.m. Thursday night.The power went off in sub-zero temperatures in a mostly residential area just west and north of the downtown core.
Toronto Mayor David Miller could not say when power would be restored. Toronto Hydro earlier said it would take 18-to-24 hours.
Miller asked residents in the affected area to check on their neighbours, particularly seniors, and help them get to a warm place. He also urged homeowners to prevent pipes from freezing by running the tap at the lowest point in the residence.
The outage forced a closure of some east-west subway stations in the affected area (from the Keele to Bathurst stations). A fleet of shuttle buses was being employed to carry passengers through the morning rush.
Are you guys safe there? Do you want to fly out and walk on the beach? Eating cheerios off the floor?? I'm calling the authorities. There is obviously something wrong. (when you were a baby you wouldn't eat food so I put pieces of bread, cheerios, etc. around the house on the floor and you'd take a bite everytime you crawled by.
