A man died while cutting tree branches in the aftermath of Wednesday’s ice storm, said Quebec Premier François Legault at a press conference Thursday afternoon.
His message to Quebecers is “be careful, be patient,” he said. People get anxious as the days wear on and want to get out to do things, but workers are out cleaning up branches and other debris. And Hydro Quebec has 1,100 employees working to get the power going again for the 1.1 million who lost it, most of whom are in Montreal.
