N.B. On the map you can clearly see that Montreal had only
ONE servicable line Friday, Jan 9th. 1998 If it had failed the
city of Montreal would have been without any power. It would
have been a major disaster.
HydroQuebec's Map shows ice accumilations in millimeters
and their power grid. Translation of French text is as follows:
Accumulation during the 5 days of the worst ice storm to
hit in the history Quebec. Map shows the electrical grid near
total collapse on January 9th (between 3Pm and midnight). The
Green lines are functioning Electrical trunk lines, the Black
triangles are main transformer stations. The dotted red lines
are non functioning Electrical trunk lines. The Blue areas show
the average accumilated measurements of ice in milimeters.
