Sudden strong winds gusted up to 80 km/h yesterday afternoon, knocking down trees at Point Park and elsewhere, including this one across from the Fort Frances Cemetery that temporarily blocked one lane of King’s Highway. Hydro One reported about 1,200 district residents–both east and west of Fort Frances–lost power yesterday and as many as 700 still didn’t have power as of this morning.
