On November 1, a major storm left nearly 2,000,000 people without power throughout the northeast United States and southeast Canada. In some areas of eastern Ontario, Canada and most of southern Québec, 964,000 people were affected. The same storm also cut power to over 800,000 customers in 14 US states between Thursday, October 31 and Saturday, November 2, with 420,000 still without power after 3 days. On November 2, 600,000 Canadian homes had been reconnected, though over 200,000 still remained disconnected. Many flooded areas—like Sherbrooke—were left without power even longer.
