Thousands of customers without power in Toronto as high winds sweep city
Social Sharing Thousand of customers are without power across Toronto on Thursday evening after high winds swept through the city. Crews were working to restore power to about 3,400 customers at about 8:15 p.m., according to Maja Boric, spokesperson for Toronto Hydro. No injuries have been reported. Toronto Fire Services said firefighters were responding to calls about wires down at a number of locations in the city. These include Park Street and Sandown Avenue in Scarborough, Allenby Avenue and Islington Avenue near Highway 401 in Etobicoke, Leopold Street in Parkdale, and Kendal Avenue and Walmer Road in the Annex. Toronto police said a few houses were evacuated on Kendal Avenue because several trees and wires came down, but Toronto Fire Services said later that the owners have returned and secured their properties.
