Here’s how things stand after the big storm in Toronto. Hydro reports that they almost have restored to the city according to their Twitter feed:

The remaining outage is a result of tree damage affecting a distribution feeder. Crews on site & restoration expected this evening. #darkto — Toronto Hydro (@TorontoHydro) July 10, 2013

Rogers is still fighting issues according to their Twitter feed:

We continue to work on restoring all services in the GTA areas that are still impacted by the storm. 1/2 — RogersHelps (@RogersHelps) July 10, 2013

We apologize for the inconvenience and are doing our best to resolve as soon as possible. 2/2 — RogersHelps (@RogersHelps) July 10, 2013

Other than that, things are returning to normal. The subway system is running, the sun is currently out and the host of the number one radio morning show in Toronto Tweeted this:

E-bike on the sidewalk while the driver lights a smoke. Good to see the city is getting back to normal after the storm.

Though, there is a severe thunderstorm watch issued for Toronto. It shouldn’t be as bad as Monday, but you can bet a lot of people are praying that it isn’t just in case.

UPDATE: The Count of people still without power continues to drop:

Power restored to all but 600 customers in pockets of west Toronto, where tree limbs brought down power lines.Emergency crews are responding

Kudos to Toronto Hydro getting people back online in some difficult conditions.

UPDATE #2: I now have cable TV. Thanks Rogers!
