Dark streetlights, four-way stop rules in effect, trees lying across well-travelled roads, cold inside the homes and trees pop and crack signalling more destruction above. An ice storm the likes of which this area hasn’t seen in a decade has decimated the power grids, retail and business industries and yes, social media and the internet. Seemingly closed off to the rest of Ontario, areas from Newmarket and farther north to Huntsville and beyond can only watch as more trees fall, more power lines pop off from their tethers and relatives, too, remain in the dark without our social media lifelines. …In Muskoka, a State of Emergency has been called. Residents are urged to staff home and off the roads. …As of Monday morning, at 7:15 a.m., there are still almost 400,000 Hydro One customers affected by the power outages.
