> In January 1998, Montreal and the region surrounding it was hit by the most disastrous ice storm ever recorded: more than four inches of ice entombed an area larger than the State of Florida, causing trees and power lines to collapse on an unprecedented scale, leaving millions in the dark without heat (some for up to four weeks). 35 people died and damages totalled more than $5 billion making it the worst natural disaster in Canadian history.

4 out of 5 power lines to Montreal went down

Older readers would remember the 1965 blackout. 2003 was only 22 years ago

That was a mad few days. We were stuck on campus. Water ran out by the next day. And students were using water from the campus fountain.
