BERLIN -- Thousands were without power across a wide swath of northern Worcester County early yesterday morning when a breaker tripped at a substation near Berlin after running low on gas.
Around 4:45 a.m. on Thursday, a breaker tripped at a Delmarva Power substation at Route 346 on the outskirts of Berlin leaving around 5,000 customers without power on a frigid fall morning.
The outage area was framed by Pittsville on the eastern edge of Wicomico County to the Glen Riddle community near West Ocean City, and from Newark, Md. to areas around Bishopville and the Maryland-Delaware line.
According to Delmarva Power spokesman Matt Likovich, the transmission breaker at the substation near Berlin ran low on gas and tripped, causing the extensive outages across the area.

I guess the secret is to live somewhere outside of Maryland but in Delaware. I don't live in MD but not too far from the areas mentioned in this story. I did not loose power recently nor when Sandy passed through. I am certainly not interested in learning about additional tax breaks or cuts in utility costs by not moving. Bottom line is tell me how to save if I can. If not, yawn!!
