Ten years ago today, a tree branch touched a power line in Ohio, and it sparked a massive outage that left about 50 million people without power.
It spread through parts of Canada and the eastern U.S. In Hamilton, some were without power for three days.

Some memories from Facebook:
"All I remember was feeding my three-week-old daughter in the dark, and it was sooo hot. We were waiting for my husband and son to come home from Wonderland; stuck in traffic from all the chaos!" — Melanie
"Having a barbecue with the whole neighbourhood so the meat didn't go to waste." — Linda
"I plugged a power inverter into my truck, ran an extension cord into my aptartment, hooked the old rabbit ears back onto the TV and got a handful of channels. Sometimes I'd swap the power to other needs like the microwave. Got hydro back in three or four days." — Jay
"I had a friend's daughter for a sleep over with the intention of taking her and my daughters to Pier 4 for Hutch's. We live in Stoney Creek and it took us three hours. We went home had crackers and cheese by candle light." — Shannon
