Canada braces for Sandy as Quebec power workers head to U.S.

Quebec-Hydro, a government-run power utility, said it was sending the teams, or some 50 workers, to Vermont in response to a request from local U.S. authorities.

"They are mostly line workers going to lend a hand in Vermont to re-establish electricity as soon as possible," said Hydro-Quebec spokesman Yvan Cliche.


We're going to get hit by this storm, sometime tomorrow, and will likely have some power outages.

But you guys are going to get hit harder tonight.

I'm sure you'll return the favour when the time comes.
