Yep, ours was off for about 23 hours. We're not sure exactly when it came
back on, as we were over at the neighbors place in their pool for most of
the afternoon.

As of right now, the info on the radio is saying that anywhere between
50-75% of the province has power (depending on who you ask). We have
power for the moment, but we've heard that there might be rolling
blackouts at any time.

I think it's interesting that they had power for the stock market to open
at 9:30 in the morning, but it took the rest of the day to get it turned
on in people's neighborhoods. From what I heard, Richmond Hill got power
very quickly, but Scarborough took a nice long time. Money talks.
