How Many Still Without Power?

#1 Postby southerngale » Fri Sep 19, 2003 7:43 pm

Does anybody know how many are still without power? I heard about 4.5 million lost power from Isabel. Also, has anyone heard from anyone who doesn't have electricity?

Spoke with several clients during the day today to let them know their beach houses fared well in the storm, most from the DC/Baltimore area... Majority had no electric so were headed to the beach where all utilities stayed on during the storm. We really dodged the bullet here. Had steady winds from the north and east with some gusts up to 55, never lost power. One tornado warning about 6:30 pm. in a heavy rainband. Stars were out by 9:30pm. It never really started to blow hard here until about 11:30 last night after rain was over and by then the wind had shifted. Blew itself out by mid morning and had steady southerly breeze all afternoon. Had more water in the back bays as a problem than ocean waves.

Cell phones are a lifesaver in situations like this.

I lost power at 1am today. Power was restored this evening. Tremendous tree damage in the Carroll County area, all around the Baltimore region for that matter.

Longest I've ever been without power was 16 hours after the deadly f-4 tornado that swept through here in 1998...

I just got my power back a couple of hours ago! There are still many in my neighbor hood without power. I'm also unsure how long my power will last. I've seen many trees just teetering by the power lines. I'm enjoying modern life while I can

Take Care Susan
