It's been two years since the last one, but that doesn't mean we're immune from another one.

Believe it or not, it's been two years since the ice storm of 2013, that crippled the city through the holidays.
While temperatures remain in the double digits through Christmas Eve, when winter finally comes, warmer temperatures actually mean there's a better chance we could see a repeat ice storm.
So Toronto Hydro wants you to put together a care package, just in case.
And they suggest, when building your emergency kit, remember:
- Pack at least four litres of water per person per day
- Include a radio (crank or battery powered so you can listen to NEWSTALK1010)
- Make sure you have non-perishable food
- Keep your emergency kit in an easy-to-access location known to all family members
On their end, Tori Gass from Toronto Hydro says they have made some changes at their call center, and can now handle thousands of calls all at once, when they couldn't before.
