Description

For five days in January 1998, a single storm brought havoc to eastern Ontario and western Quebec. In that time, upwards of 100 mm of freezing rain fell on the area, taking down hundreds of transmission towers, thousands of power poles and leaving people in the dark for hours, days and weeks.
