After 'Horrific' Storm, Most Baltimore Outages Resolved

BALTIMORE, MD — After a storm ripped up trees in neighborhoods around the city and knocked out power for thousands of Baltimoreans Monday night, Mayor Brandon Scott said Tuesday that crews were going door-to-door to ensure residents were safe.

About 33 people were without power after 5:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, down from more than 5,000 outages in Baltimore Monday night.

Fallen trees or branches caused the outages, BGE reported.

City officials established a command post to address storm issues, according to WBAL, which reported community liaisons were conducting door-to-door checks on people.

More than 20 outages Wednesday morning were off 41st Street in northeast Baltimore, while handfuls of storm-related outages persisted in the southern parts of the city, in areas like Beechfield, Cherry Hill and Violetville, according to the BGE outage map.

The Red Cross was assisting residents who were impacted, according to WMAR, which interviewed a woman who had a tree fall on her home in southwest Baltimore and described it as a "horrible, horrific rain storm."

About 1.24 inches of rain was reported in Highlandtown, according to the National Weather Service, which said the highest totals in the region were in Arlington, Va., and American University in D.C., which both saw 2.41 inches of rain.
