LET THE WINDS BLOW HIGH IN ONTARIO

    TORONTO – A powerful windstorm sweeping through southern and eastern Ontario on Wednesday knocked out power to tens of thousands of people and disrupted travel in the air and on the roads.
     Provincial power utility Hydro One said more than 80,000 of its customers were without power Wednesday afternoon, but that number was down to about 60,000 Wednesday evening. Toronto Hydro said Wednesday night that crews were making progress and about 8,000 customers were without power, after a peak of about 21,000 earlier in the day.
    The windstorm also caused problems in the air, with national transportation agency NAV Canada slowing the rate of landings at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
