In Winnipeg, about 3,400 customers were without power in the Charleswood, Westwood and Tuxedo neighborhoods as well as parts of Sage Creek. Manitoba Hydro says there is no estimated time for restoration.

In the Westman area, about a thousand customers are without power in communities west of Brandon, including Carman, Rivers and Moline. Manitoba Hydro estimates power will be restored to the area around 9:00 p.m
