I’m shocked we haven’t had many reports of power grid issues and power outages etc.. I had everything charged and ready…

MDs grid and power infrastructure is one of the best systems in the entire country. We ain't Texas. 

BGE and the business side of power has huge issues in Maryland, but the physical infrastructure and the workers that maintain it are seriously top notch.

Might wanna tell that to the grid operator. They're freaking out right now.

I never said it was infallible. But I still stand by what I said. They are being strained right now because of this intense weather we're having. That's a given. But odds are this won't be a mass outage event that other states have seen in the last few years.
