Manitoba Power Outage Crisis | Winnipeg News
Description
Manitoba’s facing a major power crisis after wild storms knocked out electricity for 30,000+ people, especially in Winnipeg and southern areas—downed trees and busted lines are the culprit. Manitoba Hydro’s racing to restore power, prioritizing biggest outages, while urging everyone to stay 10 meters away from downed lines and call 911. With temps already soaring—Winnipeg hitting 29°C with a humidex of 38—it’s brutal without AC or fans. Winds hit 91 km/h, blocking roads and causing chaos during morning commutes. Plus, traffic lights are out at key intersections like Roblin & Dale and Portage & Wall—drivers must treat them as four-way stops.
