Peterborough Utilities say the majority of the affected customers have their power back, but about 100 homes are still powerless. Most residents should be back online by the end of the weekend.

Pete Rennie has been living on Ireland Drive for about a year. He said it’s not the first time he’s had to deal with shingles flying off of the roof of his 10-year-old home.

Foremans across the city are busy dealing with the high call volume.

Peterborough Utilites can’t stress enough to stay at least 100 meters away from any downed poles or wires that you see while they work to repair them.
