31. In Frederick Co., MD our power is ON. (Allegheny Power)

It only went out for a couple minutes a few times. We're only a fiew miles north of Montgomery Co., and if anything, there are more trees here. So something must be wrong with those power companies with a lot of outtages. The conditions are no different.

I've noticed this same thing before, that our power goes out less and comes back quicker than PEPCO or BGE.
