Hydro crews across eastern Ontario and western Quebec are working to restore power to more than 100,000 residents after a severe storm on April 29.

Strong winds and heavy rain resulted in trees and branches falling on power lines and breaking poles and wires. Entire trees were uprooted in areas with very wet or soft ground.
