A rare ice disaster broke out in Canada! More than 490,000 people lost power! My home is like an ice cellar! Fall into despair! Welcome to subscribe! Welcome to subscribe! Early Saturday morning, eastern and central Ontario were hit by a rare ice and rain blizzard in the cold winter. From Grey-Bruce to the Quebec border, this vast area was completely covered in a thick layer of ice. This rare ice rain and snowstorm brought devastating damage to the people and infrastructure here. Central and eastern Ontario were plunged into chaos starting early Saturday morning. As freezing rain poured down, millions of homes were plunged into darkness. Thick tree branches snapped under the weight of the icy rain, crushing countless electric poles and causing massive power outages. The wide range of disasters and the long duration of power outages have put the people here into unprecedented difficulties. Hydro One spokeswoman Tiziana Baccega Rosa said the ice storm was the worst weather event the company had experienced since 1998. "We have been working hard since Friday evening to repair the damage, but due to the extensive damage and difficult conditions, we do not expect to be able to gradually restore power until the end of the week." Weather forecasts show the freezing rain and snowstorm will continue into Sunday, potentially causing more power outages and road blockages. The environmental department also issued freezing rain warnings for multiple areas, asking people to travel with caution and avoid unnecessary outings. "We have thousands of trees that have been crushed by the freezing rain, and the power grid is completely down," said Chris Ferry, Orillia Fire Chief. "Roads in many areas are blocked by trees and power lines, making it very difficult for us to get in." Petriboro also declared a state of emergency. Mayor Don McIsaac said: "This ice and rain storm has caused serious damage. We are working hard to carry out emergency rescue and recovery work, but it will take several days." The worst-hit areas included Kawartha Lakes, Orillia, Barrie and Peterborough. Hydro One said more than 350,000 homes and businesses were still without power as of noon Sunday, with some areas not expected to have full power restored until the weekend.
