Maybe i am just cranky because as of this minute i am still without power and have not been given a estimated time of when it will return, but Perry Hall is not the only community without power. Hundreds of people in the Kingsville area do no have power and have not seen a BGE truck in our area. There are several places along Mt. Vista road where trees are leaning on power lines hanging over the street, making in dangerous for cars to pass by.
I am curious to learn how BGE determines which neighbrhoods will be turned on first.

they go after the grouip / area with the most outages first.... we were told

true - cant disagree , except we live in Fullerton community which relies heavily on sump pumps - low lying and hig water table due to underground streams - and darn if we arent the first to lose power and among the last to get it back -

everyone needs a generator w/o it your basement is wet .... My neighor and I shared one on Tues already had 5 inches in our basements
and one lady down the street had the BCFD truck pump out feet of water from her basement,

Good idea also but According to most plumbers - battery backups are good for hours not Days - when it rains inches Our pumps run almost non-stop

See.. Who said more development is such a bad thing, more houses in a community.. More outages in that area.. Get your power back sooner.

I am sure all of the developers will take this into account and put generators in all of the new houses being built.

I am also dependant on a well. However i do not have a sump pump to worry about, we hav a french drain due to a silly builder. I worry about my elderly grandmother who cannot tolerate too much cold. and also needs a nebulizer. the majority of my neighborhood is over 60. i just want them to put the power lines under ground so we dont have to worry so much about wind and ice.

There is a type of back up sump pump that actually runs on water (won't work well with a well). Fairly expensive to install (extensive piping) but needs no electric.
