I am a witness and will have images of the downed trees. The images will (I took some pictures) will come tomorrow as I imagine I will have quite a few and given the damage just outside my door, there may be a lot of pictures. I might have witness statements later as well. Jason Safoutin 00:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Channel 2 has just reported the number of people without power is now 300,000, as I'm a Wikinews noob, how would I go about sourcing a newscast? --Lightdarkness 13:31, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
