340K in Montreal & rest of Quebec still without power due to 100 km/h winds

340,000 Hydro-Québec customers in Montreal and the rest of Quebec are still without power due to strong winds continuing until Sunday morning. To check the status of the power outage in your area, please visit the Hydro-Québec website.

The SPVM has asked that Montrealers not clog up police phone lines with calls about material damages to property. In these cases, a police report is not required, and citizens should instead call their insurance company. If safety or traffic has been compromised, please call 911.

Le 911 reçoit beaucoup d’appels en raison des grands vents. Pour rapporter des dommages matériels à votre propriété, contactez votre assureur. Un rapport de police n’est pas requis. Si la sécurité ou la circulation sont compromises, contactez le 911. Merci de votre collaboration. pic.twitter.com/l6nSZouRqi

SPVM: If winds damage your property, call your insurance company, not 911
