Utility crews untangled downed power lines and tree limbs Sunday, working
to get the electricity turned back on for millions of people facing a
second day of 100-degree temperatures without modern conveniences like air
conditioning and refrigeration.
.
On Saturday, many people flocked to places like malls and movie theaters
in the hope the lights would be on again when they returned home.
Utilities were slowly making progress, but more than 3 million people
still had no electricity and could only watch their thermostats climb. It
could be several days before all the power outages are restored.
.
Strong winds from the storms late Friday toppled massive trees onto cars
and blocked roads, and officials asked residents not to drive until they
could clear debris from the streets. When a hurricane is lumbering their
way, state officials have time to get extra personnel in place so they can
immediately start on cleanup. That wasn't the case with this storm, known
as a derecho a straight-line wind storm that sweeps over a large area at
high speed.
.
"Unlike a polite hurricane that gives you three days of warning, this
storm gave us all the impact of a hurricane without any of the warning of
a hurricane," Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said.
.
With the power out, authorities also warned people to be careful when
using generators and candles to help light darkened homes.
.
The bulk of the storm damage was in West Virginia, Washington and the
capital's Virginia and Maryland suburbs. At least six of the dead were
killed in Virginia, including a 90-year-old woman asleep in her bed when a
tree slammed into her home. Two young cousins in New Jersey were killed
when a tree fell on their tent while camping. Two were killed in Maryland,
one in Ohio, one in Kentucky and one in Washington.
.
In Washington's northern Virginia suburbs, emergency 911 call centers were
out of service; residents were told to call local police and fire
departments. Huge trees toppled across streets in the nation's capital,
crumpling cars. Cellphone and Internet service was spotty, gas stations
shut down and residents were urged to conserve water.
