Different state, but you never know
In Baltimore, the storm blew down three buildings that would have to be demolished and downed trees and utility lines. About 63,000 homes and businesses lost power, and 34 people were rescued, some by boat, from their homes in a neighborhood where waist-high water flooded some streets, Mayor Martin O'Malley said.
The storm knocked out generators at two water treatment plants and a sewage treatment plant in neighboring Anne Arundel County. County Executive Janet Owens urged residents to be patient and conserve water until power was restored.
"Putting it bluntly, please don't flush," Owens said. "It buys us some time."
