Thousands of residents on the outskirts of St. Thomas could be without power until Friday night after a freezing rain storm swept the region.
Hydro One says 2,774 customers in the area of Southdale Line and Centennial Road are experiencing outages due to extreme weather conditions. Crews are working to get service back in the area.
However, according to Hydro One's outage map, affected residents may not have their power restored until Friday at 11 p.m.
Other areas in and around St. Thomas were also impacted by Wednesday's freezing rain storm.
