UPDATE: Power outages resolved across Chatham-Kent

Hydro crews responded to several power outages in Chatham-Kent Tuesday following the recent ice storm, but it appears most of those outages have been resolved.

At the peak of the outages, more than 4,000 customers had their power knocked out by a tree that fell on some power lines in Wallaceburg.

Hydro One had also reported that the lights were out for about 430 customers in the Wheatley area, another 122 customers in the Morpeth area, and dozens of other customers near Dresden, Merlin, Erie Beach, Dealtown, and Dover Centre.

Power was almost completely restored to those areas by around 6:20 p.m. Tuesday.
