Several areas of Kincardine lost power Thursday afternoon due
to the snowstorm that hit in the morning.
Buses were cancelled but most schools remained open, except
Kincardine Township Tiverton Public School that was forced to
close when Highway 21 was closed between Kincardine and Port
Elgin at about 8:30 a.m.
Snow and high wind pelted the area and residents of Huron Ridge
lost power in the afternoon and businesses such as Kincardine
Home Hardware had reduced power all afternoon.
Many other Kincardine residents also saw reduced power (called a
'brown-out'), beginning just before 6 p.m. and, then, about an
hour later, the hydro was out completely and remained out until
approximately 9 p.m. (next column)
