Manitoba Hydro said they are dealing with around 75 outages following a thunderstorm that moved through the city late Wednesday afternoon.
According to Hydro, more than 7,000 customers are impacted by the outages – officials said this is changing by the minute as more reports come in.
The outages are all weather related, some are from lightening, heavy wind and rain falling on trees causing them to break, Hydro said.
