* As a result of this morning’s severe thunderstorm, about 72,000 customers in Montgomery County are without power.
* About 150 traffic signals are without power. Treat all "dark" intersections as four-way stops. Stop - then proceed cautiously. This is critically important to ensuring vehicular and pedestrian safety.
* Metro Red Line stations at Forest Glen and Cleveland Park are closed due to flooding; Silver Spring and Takoma Park are running on “single track.”
* For emergencies, call 911.
* To report downed trees in the public right-of-way, call 3-1-1, or, if calling from outside Montgomery County, 240-777-0311.
* To report power outages, call Pepco at 877-737-2662, Allegheny Power at 800-255-3443, or Baltimore Gas & Electric at 877-778-2222.
* To report "hot" or sparking wires, especially those across roadways, call 911.
As power is restored in areas, downed wires that were previously dead may become live. Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution around any downed power line.
