Ann Black by downed tree on Morton Ave_1731

January 7, 2014

Ann Black points to a tree that fell across her neighbour’s car during the ice storm that started on Dec. 22. After six days without power, by far the longest outage she has seen on Morton Avenue since moving there 22 years ago, Black was staying with her daughter in the west end but coming back daily to check on her house and her cat. Black’s neighbour, Aaron Gaouette, stayed two nights in his home without any power before booking a hotel downtown. “There were people just uncontrollably shaking out front of this hotel when we checked in,” Gaouette said. “The desperation on people’s faces was just incredible.” PHOTO: Andrew Hudson
