I'm near Yonge and 401. My immediate area has power, but there are large blocks around me without power. All my family in Vaughan and King are out as well.

Better send in the army!
I was deployed for that fiasco. I made a point re; using the proper equipment for the mission... then proved it during the mission. At least it was only military equipment damaged! LOL
My battery back up sump pump saved my basement this morning when the power went out from 5-8am. Best $400 spent in 2012.
Lol I'm glad we didn't have an outage, for a change.. In the process of putting one in, should wrap it up today

Power went out this morning, so took the dogs for a hike through the bush at Long Sault (just down the road from Mosport). Tough walking conditions for me, but the forest was spectacular! Everything completely covered with ~1/2" ice, and drooped over. No wind, and so silent. Serene, tranquil... I should have brought my camera.
Anyway, power back on in Bowmanville... guess I can return all that propane and the space-heater I bought this morning (Canadian Tire had power).

Anyone know whats happening in Thornhill now? I dropped off my buddy last night at their condos near Bayview and John around 2AM and there was no power. I tried calling him now and his cell phone must've been off. Its just him and his retired mom, and I dunno how to get a hold of him. The roads are so icy and our car decided to start to stall.
Hey, those websites suggest that Thornhill isn't affected at all, but they also mention that their online map is not reliable right now. Can anyone definitively confirm how affected Thornhill is?
Power came on at about 4:30 for me, I'm south of Bathurst and Clark. Just got back from driving around, looks like most people have power back in the area.
3 out of 5 buildings across the street have no power, and the street lights are out. But Thornhill is large, the outage areas are gonna be spotty.
Almost went into a downed tree on Dixie. Fortunately there was enough room in the adjacent lane for me to make a speedy lane change and avoid it. Nice pics Splash. This used to be a regular occurrence for me while living in Sudbury and parking my car outside.
No power outage here. The local McDonalds was packed. The staff couldn't handle the crowd. I think they were out of chicken.
