Strong winds throughout the area left thousands in the dark this morning.
Hydro One says its crews are responding to numerous power outages.
Early this morning were over 6 thousand customers all over Grey Bruce without power.
On the Bruce Peninsula, power is out in Southampton, Port Elgin and Sauble Beach as well as numerous smaller communities all the way up the peninsula.
Thousands inland are also without power in communities to the east to the Blue Mountains and Collingwood, as well as south including the Hanover area and West Grey.
Hydro One doesn’t have estimated restoration times for many places yet, but says crews are working to assess the widespread damage. Some are listed for 11 AM or 12 PM
