Master of Disaster Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Are schools considered a priority? No, unless they are being used as a shelter. The only one we had open was Richard Montgomery. Currently 18 schools are w/o power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Still no power in my part of NE balt. Was hoping the fire house one block down from us would help speed things along. Guess not. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are updating faster than MCPS web site, which still shows 21. Not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Somehow the power stayed on here. Winds didn't seem too impressive in N. Bethesda. I've seen a couple of small branches down, but nothing like Isabel here. Dammit, Dude, BB is only a few miles from you and he had this!!! So much for not topping Isabel Hope my photos will come out ok once uploaded, Some of those gusts had to come between 65-75mph. 3 Large trees down within 3 blocks of my house(2 snapped off, 1 uprooted), and some minor structural damage (shutters, boards, shingles) are are a common sight.

The Dude Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Dammit, Dude, BB is only a few miles from you and he had this!!! LOL. In driving around a bit yesterday, I didn't see much more than a couple large limbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm not bashing the individual workers as I'm sure many of them are working hard, but I'm sorry, as a company, BGE just sucks. This is the third extended power outage I've had IMBY this summer (one of which occurred when there wasn't even a storm). Combine this with the Peak Rewards fiasco last month, where my air was put on Peak Rewards cycling for 10 hours on the hottest day ever (even though I'm not a part of the program), and yeah, my opinion of the company is pretty low. But they have a monopoly on energy distribution so I'm stuck with them one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanineJ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm only able to post because I'm at work. No power at home. I'm getting the sense that it will be a few days until power is restored. I'm in Abingdon and we lost power ~ 9:30am on Sunday. I've been up all night because dog is afraid of the dark and all the generators in my neighborhood sound like lawn mowers. I went out for a walk a few times during the storm. Once at 1am and once at 3am and and the winds were quite strong gusting to at least 50- very surprised we didn't loose power until the morning. I could hear that signature howl of the wind. It's torture being w/o internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 By late Friday? Do they have to build a new power plant? Apparently. I'm being as patient as I can, but if I have to go all week without power, I may kill someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Apparently. I'm being as patient as I can, but if I have to go all week without power, I may kill someone. I only lost power for an hour...which surely is due to the fact I bought a generator on Thursday. Most of Odenton lost power till yesterday afternoon...you shouldn't have moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeRedheads Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 My mom is still without power in Prince Frederick. Plus, she has 15 trees down in her yard. She's a little stressed. Has Wes checked in? I think he lives in the same area and may be affected by the same power outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well I just checked in with the BGE automated line and I was told that my power will be restored by 11:30pm this Friday. Based on my experiences this summer, these dates are always earlier than the actual time its restored. So I'm thinking at least the weekend or maybe later. I tried to be nice in my last post, but this is unnaccepable. All of them can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
