“Dear PoPville,
This is ring camera footage of a man slashing tires on 15 cars along Chapin street Thursday night at 11:10pm. The officers who responded were great and really wanted to find the guy. They said it would be a felony at this point.”

From Pepco:
“Pepco Crews Work Around the Clock to Safely Restore Power After Severe Storms
We know how difficult it is to be without power, especially after severe weather. Pepco crews are working safely and as quickly as possible to restore service to more than 31,000 customers after a dangerous line of thunderstorms moved through the District and Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties in Maryland last night. The storms brought strong winds, frequent lightning and heavy rain that damaged trees, power lines and utility poles across the Pepco service area.
The hardest-hit areas include parts of the District and Prince George’s County, where crews are repairing damage from downed trees, broken poles and damaged power lines. We understand customers want to know when their power will be restored, and crews will continue working until every customer who can safely receive service is restored. Hardest-hit areas include portions of the District and Prince George’s County. There are currently more than 8,000 customers without power in the District and more than 22,000 in Prince George’s County. We know being without power is difficult, and we appreciate our customers patience as our crews continue working safely to make repairs in their communities. Based on the current conditions, we estimate power will be restored to 90 percent of customers by 7:00 p.m. Sunday, September 6. We will continue to update the estimated restoration time as work progresses.
The National Weather Service is forecasting another round of storms for the Pepco region later today. (more…)

I just wanted to maybe post a thank you to that person for their decency and their kindness really made a difference in my day. Faith in humanity totally restored. (more…)
