Maryland Fares Better Than Expected[url=]Permalink[/url]
There were three storm-related deaths in Maryland, according to Ed McDonough, spokesman for the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, but overall the state fared better than expected.
“We have two feet of snow in western Maryland, numerous power outages, roads closed,” and flooding in parts of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Mr. McDonough said.
More than 300,000 people were without electricity as of Tuesday morning, with many of the outages reported in the Baltimore area. About 50 people were evacuated late Monday from the town of Crisfield, which sits on the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay, after flood waters spilled into homes. There’s a blizzard warning in Garrett County, in western Maryland, which is expected to receive another 5 inches to 9 inches of snow Tuesday.
“We were preparing for stuff that was considerably worse,” Mr. McDonough said.
Early voting is expected to resume tomorrow in Maryland, except possibly in Garrett County. |
