CREWS WORKING OVERNIGHT AS STORMS LEAVE WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES

SALISBURY, Md. – Delmarva Power crews are out assessing damage and making repairs after severe storms moved through the region and left more than 63,000 customers in Delaware and Maryland without power Tuesday evening. Crews will work through the night as they begin restoring service to customers who lost power as severe thunderstorms brought high winds, lightning and intense rain.

In addition to internal crews, Delmarva Power has contractors available to help restore power as quickly and as safely as possible.
