Green dots show clusters of homes or maybe just one
Sutherland Drive
Across South Bayview and the whole of the City individual residents are without power while their neighbors’ homes are brightly lit. It is a Toronto phenomenon when winds strike at our large tree cover. Some trees lose branches or just fall entirely. Usually they drop across the wires carrying power into one or two homes. The photo above shot today on Sutherland Drive is typical of Leaside. A homeowner and his neighbors discuss how the old tree on his property fell across the wires into both homes. They are probably still waiting for hard-pressed Toronto Hydro crews to get there. Hydro has chosen the colour green to show the fewest number of customers affected. It can mean just one. Someone called it the green measles. Map
