branch broken on my backyard and one in the front yard

* We had a blackout in the entire Northeast of the United States back in August 2003.

* No electricity and no water for 2 days in New York City.

* TORTURE for 2 days.

* 45 million people in 8 states in the North East and 10 million people in Ontario were affected.

* Hope electricity is restored soon for you folks in Canada.

* It will feel like heaven when the light comes back on again---the most beautiful thing you will ever see----a light bulb.

Hope allyu ok, in this cold icy season.  Power still down I hear.

Lots of babies will be conceived.  

Place dark!  Daddies have to be careful of infiltrators sneaking in the bedroom!

Pray that all of you stay safe and get back to some comfort soon.

Hmmmm! I like your thinking---lively, spirited, venturesome, salacious---did I miss anything ?

Pedestrians walk under a large tree that fell on Chester Street in Toronto on Dec. 22, 2013 early Sunday morning the ice storm. Approximately 250,000 people were without power after the storm.

just checked with mall security, we have power there now

Hope you guys got power back by now.

Some carry generators, or backup batteries. Canada didn't seem prepared for ice storms. What will happen if a really heavy blizzard hit?

i feel cold just watching those pics

hope power is back on by now for all

mall open for business, I got one generator in the store, might be sold soon too

Cdns never prepare for anything, we are rough, we take it like duck to water, just do not mock us with our language and our poutine, eh

amral the roads was not too bad to drive i think they did a wonderfull job  icing and clearing the roads

Sorry to hear about this situation. I hope everything gets back to normal pretty soon.

While removing the ice from my driveway I heard a crack and I yelled at my wife to ,move, a branch could be coming down and it sure did, darn thing barely missed me but the tip caught me under the eye, now wearing a Christmas shiner.

Our electricity was gone from about midnight Sat to 6am this morning (Mon)

The drive to and from work was bad, leaving for work at 630am with no streetlights nor traffic signals was no fun the drive home which is usually half an hour took me nearly two hours.

Cham and Cain, that's some rough driving.

Cain, thank goodness you were alert got your wife out of the way.

* Glad to know you're OK.

* Is it true the major has been showing good leadership ?

* But the news is not good for tens of thousands.

TORONTO — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says hydro crews have restored electricity to 75,000 customers who lost power after a weekend ice storm wreaked havoc from southwestern Ontario to the Atlantic Coast. However, Toronto Hydro says some of the 219,000 without power may not see their electricity restored until the weekend.

* Stay safe folks.

Yeah, I realized my error afterward....dam!

I just figured it'll be like camping in the winter so I brought out my camping gear (coleman stove and pots) for cooking and that's how I made breakfast, lunch and dinner on Sunday

He got on the radio and spoke to the people and he did it well, he did not falter nor said "ahhh" Ammmm" with every few words as the acting Mayor did.

Doan know if that shows leadership though.

I heard the Toronto Mayor was seen smiling then trying to sniff the white stuff.

Hope all gets well in Canada soon. I can imagine the pain of living in such conditions, especially during Winter. We had it a Summer and even then it was bad.

You're such a nut

Glad you are all okay!

still no power Chami, shucks, my sis in law at my old building same story

When it is cold like that Doctors recommend you HUG UP tight, tight.

This is what the tree in front of my house looks like:

This is north of Toronto. We had even more ice here. Electricity is back.

Better look at the trees with ice:

Another shot:

the mayor told every one to look for crack in their house thing the cold might crack the house one man think the mayor was saying look for crack cocain in your house
