Nearly 19,000 Hydro-Québec customers are still without power this morning, after a winter storm slammed Eastern Canada last week.

The public utility’s outage map shows more than 5,700 clients without electricity in the Quebec City area, nearly 5,000 in the Côte-Nord region and more than 2,400 in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean.
