Take a look at what Wednesday's April ice storm did to the region

Tens of thousands of customers in Ottawa-Gatineau region are without power Thursday as city crews grapple with the cleanup after the region was hit with ice pellets, freezing rain and significant rainfall Wednesday.

Hydro crews are working to restore power in the Outaouais, where 125,000 customers were without power Thursday morning, and Hydro Ottawa crews worked to bring about 65,000 customers back online.

Many schools across the region are also affected by the power outages, resulting in many closures.
