Who's without power in DC Area?
28 Aug 2011 | 11th_VA

It's pretty dark between Germantown and Gaithersburg.

Anyone got the PEPCO phone number? (Typing from my BB)

I have no answer, however I saw this interesting link today:

I got this from their contact page:

To report outages

1-877-PEPCO-62
(1-877-737-2662)

To report downed wires and life-threatening emergencies

1-877-Pepco-62
(1-877-737-2662)
and press two

TTY 202-872-2369

We regret that we cannot respond to outages reported by e-mail. Also, please do not dial 911 for outage information or to report power outages.

. . .

I’m without power and phone service in NOVA but so far it looks like our county’s been relatively spared. Hopefully it isn’t too long before it’s restored. I have to wait ‘till the sun’s up to go outside for better cell service to call Dominion to report ours/get an update.

I added this to Breaking in hopes you get an answer soon. I’ll remove it from breaking a little later. Good luck.

Can’t be, everyone here says it’s just a little rain. Try flipping the switch up and down, it’s probably faking.

Seriously, hope you all get your power back soon. It’s frustrating.

Point is, I’m not gonna dig thru a file cabinet in the dark to find an old pepco bill to file an outage call.

They know who is out of power in this kind of case. I hope you are in the front end to get yours turned on, they won’t get started working on them until conditions slow down. Living in NC Florida that’s my memory of hurricanes, being out of power.

I’ve heard CONSTELLATION ENEGY stocks run around $36.00 and now CE in Maryland wants to merge or else they have no choice with some other company.

Would this be a good time to re-invest?

Maybe the stock will split?
