It looks like Fairfax County has emerged unscathed from another severe weather event, narrowly escaping a series of severe thunderstorms that wreaked havoc on Maryland last night. According to WTOP, around 16,000 customers in the Washington area are without power. As of noon, there were 8,100 customers without power in Prince George’s County and 7,300 customers in the District of Columbia. Pepco has provided a map of the current outages here.
This isn’t the first time Fairfax County has narrowly escaped adverse weather. This past winter, a series of snow storms pulverized parts of Maryland while largely sparing Fairfax. Maryland also bore the brunt of last year’s hurricane season. But how long will our luck hold out? It seems like Maryland has been taking it on the chin for some time now, and that Fairfax is long past due for a beat down from mother nature. I guess we will all have to keep our fingers crossed.
