High winds caused scattered outages in Leaside and Davisville Friday evening. The lights remained off along parts of Sutherland Dr. east of Bessborough Dr. as well as on Southea Ave., Astor Ave. and Rolph Rd. Across the City, an early estimate of those hit by blackouts was about 8,000 customers. Toronto Hydro says homes in the Annex, Leaside, Yorkville and Etobicoke, just south of Highway 401 are off grid. There are also power failures in part of the GTA Region. The Toronto Hydro outage map suggested a widespread blackout in north and south Leaside including Bennington Heights. But lights appear to be on there and in most places.
