December 2013 ice storm aftermath
The week before Christmas 2013 a devastating storm systems swept the Midwest and eastern North America. It hit Ontario mostly in the form of one of the heaviest ice storms to hit the Toronto area. It shut down power across a vast area. I don't recall the outage - it mustn't have affected my neighbourhood more than an hour or two. But I have rural friends who were without power for more than a week over Christmas. The storm killed 27 people in the region, mostly people who tried to run generators indoors and died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Most of the rest died in car accidents.
I'm sorting through old photos and posting some interesting ones. This images was uploaded to Flickr on Dec. 14, 2019.
