Sandy Knocks Out Power to 130,000 Homes in Canada

More than 130,000 homes and businesses in Canada were without power Tuesday morning after massive storm Sandy knocked down trees and power lines.

One woman was reported killed by flying debris as winds were clocked at more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour Monday evening. Police said the woman was struck by a falling sign in Toronto.

There were also reports of roof damage as well as considerable tree limbs and other debris littering streets and roadways, and a few toppled trees.

More than 90,000 of the power outages were in Ontario province, said utility Hydro One.

Neighboring Quebec province also said the storm caused power outages to 43,000 customers, mostly in and around Montreal, Canada's second-largest city.

"There is significant damage to our distribution system caused by high winds and trees and it will be some time until we're able to restore all power," Hydro One vice president Len McMillan said in a statement.

According to Canada's Weather Office, the eye of the storm is expected to reach the Great Lakes region on Wednesday before tracking northeastward across Ontario and Quebec, along the Saint Lawrence seaway.
