High winds wreaked havoc across Chatham-Kent last night, knocking out power to a number of area residents. 
At its peak, the outage affected almost 1300 residents in the Wallaceburg, Walpole Island, and Dresden areas, as well as several hundred in Chatham and Tilbury.
Several hundred residents remain in the dark this morning.
Hydro One officials hope to have all power restored by noon.
