Still gusty by "normal" standards but the trees aren't bending over anymore. So far not a lot of power outages in our immediate neighborhood, but it looks like outages are much worse over towards Potomac. Still plenty of wind in our area of SS (slightly north of downtown).

We had a Ryan townhouse built in 2009. We've had issues with shingles and shutters flying off the house almost any time we get a powerful winter cold front or powerful winter storm. Today appears to be by far the worst though. For the side that faces w/nw, we've probably lost almost a quarter of the shingles and there is a few rows of them at the very top currently flapping up and down and constantly slamming against the roof.

I don't know if it's because they've built so many homes or if it's because they are an "affordable" builder, but I know many friends that have been inconvenienced by their work. But today is an extreme day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 PEPCO now is showing 212,064 without power in their service area. It just keeps going up...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 All I have to say is thank god there wasn’t arctic air in place for this. Philly to Boston would have another historic blizzard and we’d be counting flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think this might still be an unexpected something for this area. all these coastal seem to never go south of the delaware/ md border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police and Anne Arundel County Fire Department crews are searching the river near Yantz Creek and Boone Trail for the missing water enthusiasts. Shortly before 3:30 p.m., the Natural Resources Police tweeted that it had three paddleboaders safely on board a patrol boat. The search is still on for two more, the department said. https://patch.com/maryland/annearundel/2-paddleboarders-missing-3-rescued-severn-river-storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you look at the Maryland outage map - the numbers in their zones are all unrealistically low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
