Are You Powerless ? Some Montrealers are right now.

Seems one of those fantastic & quick Thunder Storms hit Montreal & about 6000 are without power.How this made the paper I don't know, you can get almost 6000 or more people in one highrise downtown..However.

I used to love those great summer storms complete with Lightning & heavy rain......great stuff.......and that Booming Thunder that could shake the house.

MONTREAL - As of 9 p.m., 6,000 clients were without power on the Island of Montreal due to thunderstorms and high winds, said Hydro-Québec spokesperson Elaine Beaulieu.

Hydro-Québec is working on restoring the power as soon as possible. A severe thunderstorm watch was posted for the Montreal region for much of Monday night.
