WASHINGTON — Residents all across the DMV are still cleaning up from storms that ripped through the region early Saturday evening, leaving thousands without power, and possibly killing one Virginia man.
The winds downed several trees across the area, including a tree fell on an apartment building on Queen Street, NE, crushing several cars nearby. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
In Dumfries, Virginia, authorities investigating a 43-year-old man's death after a tree fell on his home and responders found him dead inside.
And in North Bethesda, WUSA9 crews witnessed a tree fall down right in front of them while responding to apartments that lost power. Residents at the two apartment complexes, The Grand and The Wisconsin, have been without power for nearly 24 hours due to the storms.
Power Outages:
As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, according to Dominion Energy's power outage map, 368 customers are still without power. Pepco's outage map shows 1,032 customers are without power in D.C. and Maryland.
There is no word at this time on when power may be restored.
A power outage can be caused by a myriad of things but it is important to be as prepared as you possibly can, especially during severe weather. Extended power outages can impact everyone from a home to an entire community. It can cause issues with communication, prevent the use of medical devices, impact access to water and cause food to spoil while grocery stores may be closed.
Dominion Energy says residents should not connect any portable generators to a home's electrical system. Under no circumstances should you ever bring a generator into your home. Odorless and colorless carbon monoxide gas from generators can build up, resulting in injuries or even death.
