Approximately 750 customers lost power early this morning, November 27, in Wallaceburg at 2:30 a.m., Entegrus officials say.
“Crews patrolled, located and repaired two blown lighting arresters and restored power at 6 a.m.” Entegrus officials tweeted.
“We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while crews worked to restore power.”
Environment Canada officials say a few power outages are possible today, as strong southwesterly winds are set to begin this afternoon.
“Strong southwesterly winds gusting to 80 km/h are expected to develop this afternoon in the wake of a sharp cold front blasting across the region,” forecasters say.
“Wind gusts may approach 90 km/h this afternoon especially in exposed areas. Winds will veer to the west and slowly ease this evening. Strong winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break.”
Entegrus officials issued a reminder that high winds can bring down powerlines.
Remember, high winds can bring down powerlines. If you see a downed powerline, be sure to stay back at least 10 metres / 33 feet (the length of a school bus). Warn others not to approach, and contact 911 or Entegrus right away. https://t.co/2OqmaJMbAJ
