Blackouts fewer but many still remain across South Bayview

As many as 21,000 customers are still without power in Toronto Saturday morning and at least 190,000 across Ontario are also affected after yesterday’s wind storm. A man is dead after scaffolding fell on him at a construction site at corner of Yonge and College Sts. The Toronto Hydro outage map shows there has been progress restoring power to large parts of near East York across the Don Valley. Many blackouts continue however both there and in Leaside and Davisvile Village. Power is out at some shops and businesses and Mt. Pleasant Rd remains closed  as Hydro still has not been unable as of noon Saturday to replace the hydro pole at the corner of Belsize (see post below). People in pictures above shot by Monkeynastix Toronto@MonkeynastixT show people bowled over on Davisville Ave. Others cling to poles to stay upright or find cover.
