Power outages in Bethesda

Brief heavy wind gusts during the first storm to hit Bethesda this evening have knocked out power in a few spots around Bethesda. A number of customers are without power in the Sumner/Glen Mar Park neighborhood. According to Pepco, less than five customers are in the dark in Kenwood.

Seventy-three customers lack power northwest of the intersection of River Road and Wilson Lane, and there are several small outages along the Burdette Road corridor. There are also small outages in downtown Bethesda and south of Wilmett Road. The largest outage, over 300 customers, is near Georgetown Prep.

Potomac west of Falls Road appears to be the hardest-hit spot in our area.

There is a limb down on Little Falls Parkway, and there is standing water on the CVS side of the road on Bradley Boulevard at Arlington Road.
