Whitney Yarbrough may have picked one of the worst weeks to visit Toronto.
She and her family had been looking forward to a relaxing vacation in Niagara Falls after enduring a five-day power outage in their hometown of Houston, Tex. in the wake of Hurricane Beryl.
A global technology outage grounded flights, disrupted hospitals and backed up border crossings in Canada. Porter Airlines said it was cancelling its morning flights due to the outage. Andrew Breeding, who was scheduled to fly Porter home to Los Angeles after a business trip to Toronto, said his flight out of the city’s Billy Bishop Airport was one of those affected.
