Power outage at YYZ

[dlopes]

Bad storm in Toronto  caused power outage at Pearson International Airport. I think it was limited to terminal 3, they've got the emergency generator going.  

Not much info on how this is affecting  flights...the feed seems to be down


cheers

I was listening before the storm came over, and they got all flight to go to Hamilton and Ottawa.

Can't take credit for this. I was too busy listening to liveatc to get out.

There were about 30-40 diversions to Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal and Buffalo.

I had a really good recording of diversions back in April that I meant to throw up but my laptop died before I did. If I ever decide to get the data off the hard drive, I might find it again. Things got really hectic.

From the recording is listened to, CYYZ 0000z-0030z Aug 10. or between 8:00 and 8:30 EDT, Aug 9.
Things start to fall apart  between 10 min. and the end.
