Power restored to thousands of customers following severe weather: Manitoba Hydro

Tens of thousands of Manitobans have reportedly had their power restored following severe weather earlier in the week, according to Manitoba Hydro.
As of Thursday morning, around 1,400 Manitoba Hydro customers were without power; however, as the day has gone on, the number of customers affected has changed throughout the day due mainly to the need for brief planned outages as part of restoration efforts.
Some customers have reportedly been without power for an extended period of time, and crews are working to have most storm-related outages restored by the end of Thursday.
“Manitoba Hydro is asking customers who may have damage to the overhead service mast on their property to contact a licensed electrician as soon as possible to make repairs, which will allow the utility to complete re-energizing their property,” read a statement from the company, while adding that customers should update their contact information to ensure they can be reached with information or advisories.
