A wild night of weather in Winnipeg and other parts of southern Manitoba continues as Manitoba Hydro is warning of power outages in multiple locations due to damaged electrical equipment.
Customers should be prepared to be without power overnight as outages have spanned across a wide area. Hydro says crews will respond to outages when road and weather conditions permit and additional trained staff in Winnipeg are being assigned to relieve firefighters and police officers guarding areas where wires are down.
Hydro is warning its online outage map may not be accurate due to the evolving situation.
