Some scenes from the damage caused by Saturday’s storm in the Luskville area. As of press time, power was restored in parts of the Municipality of Pontiac. While many parts of the Pontiac were affected, the worst of the damage seems to be on the Ontario side of the river.

Many hydro poles fell victim to the high winds, including this one on chemin Baie.
Downed lines are marked for everyone to see.
