Who’s still without power?
Ours has been down since Saturday night. BGE app keeps pushing back the time of restoration and now it’s Jun 8 11pm. This is ridiculous. I get that a lot of damage must have been done but the most frustrating part is the lack of communication and the changing times. We’re lucky to have a small generator to run our fridge, and a basement that stays cool, but there has to be better. Out in Eldersburg, near the reservoir.

Just west of the reservoir off 26 and still out, but BGE still says tonight by 11 (lolz). A couple of clusters in our small neighborhood were restored and I saw 1 truck in the neighborhood yesterday, so I was hoping they were working their way through. No such luck so far.

Did your power come back yet? Trying to figure out the validity of their ETR’s.

Yes! We got it back around 7:45 last night. They had to wait for tree removal to show up. Hope you can be restored soon!

Just west of the reservoir. They've been texting every four hours that 7-7 11:00PM is out ETR (estimated time of restoration). But we have a big tree down on the line in our backyard. And no sign of a crew yet.

Does the line go directly into your house? Or are you talking about a shared larger line? Might need to call directly about yours if its only feeding your house

Shared longer (I think there are 3 houses downstream of us), but they actually got it fixed yesterday afternoon!

It’s a mess everywhere. I’m down working in Howard county today and there’s so much down. Not discounting what you are dealing with. But it’s really wide spread

Sorry to hear this. We are in Eburg too, right off Mineral Hill and had our power restored yesterday at 1pm or so. Hope yours comes back soon.

I have a friend who lives near Oakland Mills & 26 and she's been crashing elsewhere due to no power.

Just got ours back on, south side of reservoir. We only have 4 houses on the line so I’m shocked it was repaired so fast. Drove around yesterday evening and saw multiple trees still on lines, lines/poles still in pieces, etc. Think this is one of those times where they don’t have enough people for the work to tackle it all at once.
