BALTIMORE (WMAR) - A massive storm that swept through Maryland Friday night left hundreds of thousands without power, vehicles totaled, homes damaged, and two people dead.
Governor Martin O’Malley declared it a state of emergency as crews work to clean up damage and restore power.
The declaration gives the state flexibility to use the local National Guard and provide assistance to local emergency managers.
More than 70 cooling centers throughout the state are open to all residents – especially those who lost electricity.
