Power out to more than 12,000 homes and business across the Bancroft region

More than 12,000 customers are without power in the Bancroft area.

Power went out earlier this afternoon after a line of thunderstorms passed through the region. Right now, Hydro One is estimating that power will be restored around 6:45 this evening.

Other smaller pockets of customers are also being affected by outages across the region.

Environment Canada issued a Thunderstorm Warning for the area earlier today.
