Power outages persist in Wheaton (Photos)

Wheaton business owners were delivering the same message in multiple languages Saturday, after continued power outages forced them to remain closed. On Saturday evening, only one Pepco truck could be found in "downtown" Wheaton, on Veirs Mill Road in front of Lindsay Ford. The power utility failed to summon enough additional crews from other states, despite having 72 hours notice from the National Weather Service. About 100 customers remain without power in the commercial area of the Wheaton Triangle. Thousands more are still without power in residential homes and businesses across the East County at this hour. Heckuva job, Brownie!
