Many Bethesda residents, businesses left powerless Sunday

Power outages persist across Bethesda tonight, from Spring Hill and Westmoreland Hills to Sumner, Mohican Hills, Glen Cove, Brookdale, Bannockburn, Edgemoor, downtown Bethesda, and beyond. One new outage occurred just before 10:00 PM tonight, in fact, near the intersection of Brookeway Drive and Massachusetts Avenue. Ironically, Pepco was just there around 7:00 PM tonight working with a bucket truck at the top of a utility pole. Those folks are surely enjoying the news that their restoration time is 11:00 PM Monday.



While the Bradley Shopping Center and Liberty gas station had their power restored Sunday, the Shoppes of Bethesda and Hampden Lane continue to be children of a lesser god to the decisionmakers at Pepco. My Eye Dr. was more optimistic than most, speculating they might have power restored before midnight.

This is just idiotic whining.

At 11 AM Monday (8 AM Dyer Time), it looks like there are only 2 businesses (Hampden Lane/Elm Street) and 3 residences (4700 block of Bradley Boulevard, Exeter Road at Edgemoor Lane, Wilson Lane at Clarendon Lane) without power in downtown Bethesda. Predicted restoration time for all is 3 PM Monday.

The house in the 4700 block of Bradley Boulevard just had power restored.

The Shoppes at Hampden Lane have had their power restored.

You heard it first from "The Lone Troll".

Looks like there are only two customers in Bethesda without power, on Lynbrook Drive.
