You are talking about 50 million vs 1.5 million in this one.
Ontario Power Generation and Hydro-Québec have also both sent workers down. Likely in self defence, as we don't want y'all pulling the grid down again like that time.

It's times like this that I'm glad we have our own grid.

After living through a few hurricanes here, we have 2 generators, one to power the fridge and freezer and another to run the well pump and lights.
