A severe storm rolled through central Maryland on Tuesday, July 12, causing extensive damage to wires and poles from fallen whole trees and branches. Another storm came through the area on Saturday, July 16, causing additional outages.
In the hardest-hit areas, fallen trees and substantial tree debris clogged roads and customers’ yards, limiting access to teams surveying damage and equipment needing complex repairs.
