Ice storm slams region with 100 mile power outage swath
The 1991 ice storm left about 25,000 North Country residents without power for three days along an Eastern Lake Ontario 100 mile swath. Niagara Mohawk mobilized 420 line and tree crews plus loaned crews from other utilities. National Guardsmen, emergency vehicles and mutual aid responders aided evacuations, road clearing, and shelter setup as officials warned of weeks of outages and possible flood risks from the Black River.
