More than 10,000 Without Power in Montgomery County

Pepco "relieved" that storm did not generate as many outages as anticipated.

 

Hurricane Sandy left more than 10,200 Pepco customers in Montgomery County without power as of 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, according to Pepco's Storm Center website.

In comparison, the derecho of June 29, 2012, left more than 17,000 people in Montgomery County without power for a week, Patch reported last summer.

"Pepco is relieved that the storm did not generate as many outages as we had anticipated," Pepco spokesman Clay Anderson told Patch Tuesday.

"In Montgomery County, we are looking at outages that are spread across the county, pretty widely dispersed," Anderson said.

In particular, Pepco is working to clean up a number of trees that came down during the storm in Bethesda and Potomac, Anderson added. 

Estimated power restoration times are not yet available. It's "too early to tell," Anderson said, adding that some estimated restoration times could be available as early as Tuesday afternoon.
