Storm cleanup: ‘No one knows what’s going on’ in Hamilton, ontario

Cleanup crews made only a dent in the havoc of a storm that uprooted hundreds of trees, blocked roads, ripped down utility lines and crushed cars on the weekend, stranding up to 20,000 homes and businesses without power for as long as three days.

While most residents stood by patiently for assistance — holding barbecues or sharing chainsaws — many were aggravated by long waits to get help or information.

Mapster knows....even though he move to Ancaster

"Our concern is the lack of responsiveness in a safety situation," said Alison Evans of Belmont Avenue, where an enormous tree still rested on a neighbour's truck late Sunday, almost 48 hours after it fell and blocked the street. "There didn't seem to be any communication. No one knows what's going on."
As of 9 p.m. Sunday night, Horizon Utilities reported on their website that almost 80 customers in the Cootes and Osler Drives area in Dundas and the Bridgeman Lane and Glen Allen/Glen Cannon areas in Stoney Creek were still without power, and these areas would be assessed Monday.

we had to go to an Iftar up hamilton mountain on friday.....just after the worse of the storm happened.

it was quite the adventerous drive for us navigating around downed trees and streets strewn with all kinds of debris.

we ended up with a large branch stuck under the car which we dragged for many kilometers before it broke and part of it fell off.....the rest came off on our driveway once we got home.

he was so angry because he could not get rid of that branch
the roads were not busy at all....so he drove up slowly on the curb and drove for a km or so trying to lose it but could not.

the whole time he worried about what damage it might be doing to whatever is under the car

The Car comes with a Jack ?  :-[

Even U couldda save the aggravation :
