It has been a rough few days since the ice storm struck Quebec, leaving millions of people without power across Montreal and many other regions across Quebec. In the first 48 hours, Hydro-Québec said they have restored power to over 800,000 customers and plan on restoring power to a million customers by the end of the weekend.
Over 660,000 Hydro-Québec customers still had no power as of 9:30 a.m. Friday, almost two days after a freezing rain storm battered the province. Just over half (340,532) of the remaining households without power were in Montreal.
