“There is nothing that works, all the stores and restaurants are closed,” said Noémie Bonneau Bowen, who was shopping when all the lights went out in the mall at 2:15 p.m.
People got stuck in the Ferris wheel, among other things. Fortunately, the rides were able to start operating again shortly after 3 p.m. Shops and restaurants were also able to reopen.
According to Hydro-Québec, 18 outages deprived 843 customers of the Capitale-Nationale region of power on Thursday afternoon.
In Chaudière-Appalaches, more than 17,000 customers are without power due to 26 outages.
In Quebec, nearly 491,000 people are without electricity, due to the triggering of protective measures related to forest fires. Interruptions are thus caused on three transmission lines from James Bay.
This is what Hydro-Quebec says on its Twitter page.
