It might be little solace to those without power this morning, but the electricity is apparently out at Vince Gray's Hillcrest home, too. The Mayor's is but one of the hundreds of thousands of people around the region who can't turn on the lights this morning, reports the Post's Nikita Stewart. Through his spokeswoman Linda Wharton-Boyd, Gray reportedly said "it's my turn. I have to share the burden, too." Can you feel the shared suffering, D.C.? more ›

It appears that Pepco's outage map, having been constantly accessed by people wondering exactly how many people in their neighborhoods are without power, has crashed. The utility has reverted back to the previous (read: less snazzy) version of its outage map, but loading is very slow at the moment, barely getting past Germantown in my most recent go.

Pepco reports that nearly 500 customers in their service area -- a large concentration of which are in Northeast D.C. -- are still without power this morning after last night's lengthy storm. In their usual "weather was bad, eh!" report this morning, the Post notes that at a minimum, 28,000 homes and businesses lost power overnight. To think: without electricity, you wouldn't have been able to watch ESPNNEWS on repeat for three hours waiting for the Nationals game to resume play on MASN! (Wait, just me? Never mind, then.) Considering this upcoming forecast, this probably won't be the last time Pepco technicians will be out and about fixing large power outages due to thunderstorms this week. more ›
