Original Story:
Thousands of Maryland residents remain without power following back-to-back storms over July 4th weekend.
According to BGE, approximately 7,000 combined customers are powerless as of Tuesday morning on the heels of both storms.
Those numbers pale in comparison to the more than 100,000 that initially lost power.
"These current outages across both storms represent about 460 individual restoration jobs across the region, with Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, Harford County and Baltimore City being the hardest hit," BGE said in their latest update. "Of particular concern are the downed poles and wires due to the severity of the storm and winds."
