UPDATE: Ottawa's post-storm power outages could last for days, city officials warn

Power outages caused by a tornado and vicious storm that tore through this region could take days to resolve, say officials with the city of Ottawa.
The outages are being compared to those witnessed in this area during the infamous 1998 ice storm.
“It will not be hours. It could be days,” Mayor Jim Watson said Saturday at city hall, where top city officials provided a briefing.
“There are no fatalities, I’m pleased to report. There are no reports of missing persons.&rdquo
