WEATHER NEWS
I'm not going to insult your intelligence like the TV news - "It's hot! It's 100 degrees!" Duh!
But it will feel like 115 degrees Saturday, so be prepared. New thunderstorms are forecast to hit Bethesda on Sunday and/or Monday.
Montgomery County still has a cooling center open at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville for those without power.
POWER OUTAGES
Up to 14,000 county residents remain without power a full week after the storm hit. To top it off, some have even lost power once it was restored.
Chef Tony's and Jiffy Shoppes both suffered partial or complete power outages on St. Elmo Avenue Thursday.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY TREE DEBRIS
What do you do with all of those branches, limbs and chunks of wood littering your yard?
A) Build a log cabin
B) Start a firewood company
C) Gather them up, and place them "in the county right of way" if you live on a county-maintained road, before July 11.
The answer is C.
Starting July 11, county crews will begin picking up the curbside debris.
The county says not to place debris in any spot that blocks a road, driveway or sidewalk; generally speaking, it should be right at the edge of your lawn by the gutter/edge of the street.
Debris not ready for pickup July 11 can still be bundled by you, or your yard service, for regular yard debris pickups on trash days.
The County came by on July 4th and cleared a substantial number of limbs from our front lawn. Without being called. Beyond impressed.
