TORONTO (CP) - TORONTO (CP) - A widespread power outage hit Ontario and the eastern United States at about 4:15 p.m. Thursday.
Blackouts were reported in Toronto, as well as Ottawa in the province's eastern region, Windsor in the west and North Bay in the northern part of Ontario. Parliament Hill had power knocked out leaving scant emergency lighting.
Hydro officials could not immediately be reached to explain the blackout.
A power outage also hit the New York City area Thursday, affecting certain areas from Long Island to Westchester County.
"We have no idea how extensive it is," said an Office for Emergency Management.
