nw baltimore wx Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 According to the BGE outage map, there are still about 55,000 without power in their service area, with about half of that in Baltimore county. There's a note on the outage map that says the numbers that I used to get that total are accurate. Seems like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a more accurate table that says 65,000 BGE still out as of 9:45 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I've been out since 1PM Friday. With all the free time on my hands, I traced our wire back to where I know there is power and found a circuit breaker up on the pole was open. Tried to call and tell BGE our fix might be easy but there is no way to provide info. There was a truck a block over that fixed one wire, but after that they left. Doesn't really make sense to send 2 trucks and 8 guys for one small outage without assessing/fixing all the other small outages around them. I have access to generator power, but seriously looking into solar/battery for next time. BGE is dead to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a bge truck anywhere in our area for the last two days, which is crazy since there is a huge depot just down the road. I'm still without power and their outage map has no eta on 90% of the outages in the county. As a reference, on Day 5 post Derecho, there were still 800,000 outages in MD, DC and NOVA. We are at Day 3 and under 200,000 across the same region. There are still nested outages, but it's nowhere near as bad as before. I know it stinks to be one of the last to get back on, I'm at the end of a cul de sac, but that's how the chips fall sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 That really sucks for you folks without power. We went out at 10am on Friday, but it came back at around 7pm last night. It’s tricky with a nearly 6-month-old (my 5-year-old was fine), so that was a level of stress we could have done without, but all in all it wasn’t too bad, especially because we had our friends’ generator. Another buddy of mine is still out - he’s one of 10 townhouses in a whole huge subdivision without power now, and they’re not expecting it back until Tuesday evening. Good luck to everyone. I really hope you’re up and running soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Another 35,000 restored since 4:00 pm in Maryland. BGE is total trash with restoration though...they are leading the state in outages still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 My in-laws are in rural VA west of Warrenton and they aren't expecting power back until mid-week, which will be 5 days at that point. Definitely high-impact. Found another house in my neighborhood yesterday that took a direct hit, so that is two that are not able to be occupied.

Gotta figure those out-of-the-way locales will have a tough time coming back up. Friends in Marshall got theirs back yesterday after 40 hours, which was much earlier than they expected. They were running a 7000W generator and have a wood fireplace, so they were pretty well taken care of. We've got one house in our neighborhood that has a roof smashed up from a big tree that fell onto it. Roof is caved in over one of the bedrooms, but everyone is OK, it seems.

Did you ever lose it? and if Wednesday restore happens, it would beat the length of outage after Sandy lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One block was fine, and then one side of one block is out, total outage on the next block... But we had power the whole time so our friends spent a lot of their time at our house over the weekend.

NCSUchick27 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have power at my house in Leesburg, but my office in Ashburn has been without power since noon on Friday. We may not get it back there until tomorrow evening. I am working from home today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramaxRefugee Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 At work now, (where power has returned), but just got email from our HOA that said BGE is planning for midnight restoration for us. That would be 86 hours down, IF it happens. The BGE outage map is a joke nowadays. They still don't list our neighborhood as out. I'll gladly tolerate it as opposed to those poor folks who got whacked with a tree, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Still no power, at least there are trucks in the neighborhood now. They've been all in one spot the entire day. They say maybe by midnight we get power back. I feel like restoration is at a snails pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
