New storms bring new outages
Posted: 07/29/2010
BALTIMORE - The Baltimore-Washington area, still recovering from thunderstorms on Sunday that left hundreds of thousands without power, was hit again by severe weather.
Thunderstorms rolled through the region Thursday afternoon, bringing down trees and cutting power to thousands.
Baltimore Gas & Electric says about 23,000 lost power in the most recent storms, but power was restored quickly to about 7,500.
Pepco, which still had about 7,000 customers who have been without power since Sunday, says about 20,000 are now without power. The utility says about 18,000 of those are in Montgomery County.
In Washington Metro says the Friendship Heights station is closed because of a power outage.
