Neighbourhood restaurants which had gas stoves allowed people in giving them hot food and drinks and heat! It was wonderful to see so many pull together and help one another out. I will never forget those days, what an experience, I have way more stories about that time!
I will never forget that storm! I lived in NDG at the time and we lost power for 3 days. But I was fortunate to have a gas stove, so I was able to wash, cook, and use it for a bit of heat! I remember walking at night out on the street in ice pellets nearly up to our knees and no lights to be found anywhere! It was surreal to say the least! The closed large parts of downtown due to ice falling off the skyscrapers! Salvation army had a truck out that served hot drinks and some hot soup!
@TheCroatiaKid The ice storm didn't hit Toronto. This is footage of Montreal/Ottawa. Your thinking of another event when they called in the military transports to act as ambulances cause they couldn't move in the snow.
I remember the whole family gathering at my grandparent's house, since they lived on route 148 and electricity wasn't always cut off. If was scary stuff, especially since I was only 7
Ah, many memories here...I was in Aylmer, QC (15 min. drive from Ottawa) when this happened. Missed two weeks of school and it wasn't even reason to celebrate. We got hit haaaaaard near my house, couldn't even go outside to play. I remember having to make sure you didn't start sliding down even the slightest hill cuz you'd be fucked. 5% incline = call for help if you're at the bottom.
I was among the few who only lost power for a few minutes during the whole 2 weeks, so I can't complain.
