Lights out in village

It was lights out in parts of Colborne on September 28 as a major storm blew through, disrupting power delivery. Cramahe Now caught some of our businesses as they tried to cope with the effects.
Beth Palmateer reads by flashlight as she attempts to do her paperwork.

Can you see that? Home Hardware owner Doug Grant points the flashlight as a customer reads the label. It was all cash sales for awhile.

Dentist Tovi Luong has no patients for his afternoon appointments. The drill needs power.

You can't fill prescriptions without light and power. Downey's Pharmacy closed for a period of time while staff waited for the lights to come on.
