- Huge power outage in Toronto. Coldest night of the year, no heat, no lights, no water in in our building. Fun.by AaronMcGallegos via twitter 1/16/2009 5:06:08 AM
- Anyone hear an ETA yet? I hear it might be caused by flooding from the melting we've been having, but it's got to be -20 out there!

- Here's the area affected:
- A sectn of the B-D SUBWY srvce is clsed from ST GRGE STN to ISLNGTN STN Buses in srvce #ttcby ttcupdates via twitter 1/16/2009 5:12:36 AM
- Bloor-Danforth Subway is currently shut down from St. George to Islington Station. Shuttle buses are in service. #ttc #darkTOby ahmadnassri via twitter 1/16/2009 5:12:40 AM
- Bloor-Danforth subway line - Shuttle buses between St. George and Islington... no lighting in stations
- I drove home along Dundas W at 1030... Weird to see streetcars running, but no traffic lights!
- I think the TTC power grid has generators, but it won't last all night. That's when the zombies will make their move
- Went for walk. East of Brunswick has power. Eerie though. #darktoby navalang via twitter 1/16/2009 5:17:55 AM

- Water off, pipes bled. Family warm, bundled. Electronics unplugged in case of surge. Time to bundle up n sleep. Night all, stay warm #darkTOby laddie via twitter 1/16/2009 5:19:43 AM
- does anyone know how long the power has been out in Toronto?by TommyGalante via twitter 1/16/2009 5:20:30 AM
- It's been out about 2 hours now
- I'm taking my dog for a walk to see how dark it is out there. Commenting is on if anyone hears anything
- The power is on at Queen St. W and Niagara
- Well, if you ever felt the urge to run naked through parts of Toronto and have nobody see you, tonight's the night to do it. #darktoby ZoeyCastelino via twitter 1/16/2009 5:41:07 AM
- Is anyone watching without power? (yes, I understand the irony but they have batteries in computers now) :)
- #darkto Someone forgot to notify me. At College/Spadina, and power's fine. Thank God, since it's freaking cold and I have baseboard heat.by mlwjones via twitter 1/16/2009 5:45:30 AM
- Is it time to call the army, Toronto? :)
- Power is out - Dufferin to Kingsway, Queen to St. Clair. Since 10PM! #darktoby stephenaevans via twitter 1/16/2009 5:49:17 AM
- OK, power here, (Bloor/Runnymede) but not at out-of-town friend (Keele/St Clair). Now their water's off too. Just in case. #darktoby shayman via twitter 1/16/2009 5:55:29 AM
- Alright, it's 1am. I'm starting to pass-out. If any of the watchers want to keep this liveblog going, shoot me a comment and I'll send you the invite code ;)
