Schools Closed, Power Out, Due to Storms, Heat

More than 1,000 customers are in the dark and two schools are closed in the D.C. area following a day of record heat and violent storms.

Dominion Power is reporting more than 1,000 outages in Northern Virginia. Pepco and Baltimore Gas and Electric are reporting only a handful of outages in Maryland and the District.

Stonewall Middle School in Manassas is closed because of an air conditioning problem. Georgetown East Elementary School in Annapolis is also closed because of a power outage.

Check the Capital Weather Gang for today’s forecast and The Buzz for some great ways to beat the heat. We’ll update this entry with any other heat-related problems.
