Trees down, hundreds of thousands without power

The storm was powerful and fast moving. Rain shouldn't fall horizontally but this past Saturday it did. 

Doors and windows protected by large, overhangs were pounded by the rain falling in wind driven waves. Trees were toppled and large tree limbs downed across the province from Windsor on the southeast to Ottawa in the far west.

In the Ottawa region tall, steel hydro towers buckled under the force of the gusting winds. Hundreds of thousands were left without power. Many were still without power Sunday.
