It was one of about half a dozen downed lines crews had to deal with overnight.
Power was knocked out late Tuesday evening in several northeast neighbourhoods, including Arbour Creek, Evergreen and Forest Grove, after a power pole was knocked down.
It took crews two hours to restore power.
Some trees around the city were toppled by the wind.
City officials said they have been extremely busy handling calls, but there has been no reports of serious damage.
