Power outages close a number of London schools day after intense storm
The city is still working to recover this morning from a brief but destructive thunderstorm that tore through Tuesday.
Tuesday afternoon's severe thunderstorm brought winds of up to 80 kilometres per hour, along with torrential rainfall and lightning. Power has mostly been restored to thousands of Londoners, however there are a number of small outages throughout the city, according to London Hydro's outage map.
Westmount and Trafalgar public schools are closed Wednesday because of the outage, as are St. George and St. Rose of Lima Catholic elementary schools.
Tuesday's thunderstorm formed on top of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay then moved south. When it reached London, the powerful winds caused tree damage in parts of the city.

A wildfire closes main highway linking Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and sends 12 people to the hospital
JERUSALEM (AP) — A wildfire shut the main highway linking Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on Wednesday, sending at least a dozen people to the hospital and turning skies over Jerusalem gray. Video footage showed vehicles stranded nearby as flames spread throughout the area, while another video showed the fire approaching a Catholic monastery. The fire was being whipped up by strong winds and hot, dry weather. The cause was being investigated. Help was on the way from across the region, including aircraft from Italy, Croatia and North Macedonia, Israeli officials said. Helicopters were dropping water to battle the flames from above, while other firefighting teams were responding on ATVs. 'We hope to reach 150 firefighting teams,' Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said. The fire occurred as Israel observes Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of attacks, ahead of Independence Day on Thursday. Many of the planned events were being canceled, including the official national ceremony in Jerusalem. The event had been set for Mount Herzl, near the fire zone. Instead, a recording of the dress rehearsal was being broadcast. During Elections Get campaign news, insight, analysis and commentary delivered to your inbox during Canada's 2025 election. Those taken for hospital treatment mostly suffered from smoke inhalation, while another 10 people were treated in the field, Magen David Adom Ambulance services said. Residents living close to the fire zone were evacuated, police said. Officials at the monastery, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, said it was too early to assess the damage, if any. The religious communities had been safely evacuated, they said. 'We pray for the safety of everyone,' their statement said. As flames advanced towards the Tel Aviv-to-Jerusalem highway, many people abandoned their cars and fled on foot or hitched rides with other vehicles heading in the opposite direction. In 2010, a massive forest fire burned for four days on northern Israel's Mount Carmel, claiming 44 lives and destroying around 12,000 acres, much of it woodland.

How well did London clear snow this winter? 2 councillors want a review
Icy sidewalks, unplowed roads and difficulty getting to school are just some of the complaints piling up from London residents who faced challenges getting around in the ice and snow this past winter. Now, two councillors are calling for a review of the city's snow and ice removal — and what needs to improve. London's Ward 7 councillor Corrine Rahman and Ward 11 councillor Skylar Franke are putting forward a motion to the infrastructure and corporate services committee with a vote at Wednesday's meeting. "I think our staff do a great job. I think that the contractors that help us out do a great job, but there's always room for improvement," Rahman said. The review would look at how the city used contracted services during the 2024-2025 winter season, alternative options for snow and ice removal on roads and sidewalks, clearance around schools, and suggestions for new machinery to help with windrows, which form when snow is left at the end of a driveway after a plow has cleared the road. "In Old South and Wortley Village where there's a lot of people who walk around to get to work, to the bus and to school, I was hearing a lot of complaints about icy sidewalks," said Franke, adding that while most complaints were from pedestrians, she also heard from drivers about a need for faster snow clearance on the road. She also heard from families near Woodland Heights Public School on Springbank Drive who had challenges walking, she said. "The main entrance is off Springbank, but most people come from the neighbourhood behind the school and those pathways are not maintained in the winter." Meanwhile, Rahman said windrows are a key issue among many residents in her ward. "A lot of people sent me a video that was being shared on social media about how to get the snow not to build up at the end of your driveways when the plows go by," she said, adding that a review could highlight suggestions that other communities have already adopted to fix maintenance issues. The review is also a way for residents to learn how much money is needed for potential changes, Rahman said. "It's always good to know the cost of those kinds of services so people can really think about it from the perspective of council and what kinds of considerations we have to make for service improvements," she said. City teams clear close to 4,000 kms of roadway and more than 1,700 kms of sidewalk in the winter, said Joel Gillard, the city's division manager of road operations, in an email. He said they prioritize high traffic routes before clearing local streets and cul de sacs. "This winter has been very busy for our crews responding to all of the snow, and we recognize the winter weather has continued later in the season than what Londoners have previously experienced the past few years," Gillard said. Franke said the goal is to get committee approval Wednesday so the conversation can go to council sometime this spring. "We're hoping to get this done so that next winter, we can really address people's concerns and try to make the city easier to walk around in the winter," she said.
