Toronto, Ont., was one of the hardest-hit cities. Two waves of ice hit the city, one on Dec. 20 and another on Dec. 22. Even by Dec. 24, 69,800 homes were still without power.
The city set up warming centres to support those who were affected by the storm. Around 1,000 people spent Christmas Eve in these centres.

I remember this all too well. No power to the house, had my 2yr old twins, older daughter and dog trying to stay warm. Luckily my sister still had power in North York so we spent the night with her and her bf but had to find a kennel for our doberman to shelter.

Yea remember it pretty well, I had to go buy generators for a few friends. My area has underground service so we never really lost power, maybe for a few minutes tops. Still had generators at Markhville mall that day, then people from Scarborough came and emptied everything out.
