According to County Councilman David Marks, as of Thursday morning, roughly 41 homes in Perry Hall remained without power.

Several homes along Kilbride Court had power restored Thursday morning. Several homes along Schroeder Avenue, however, remained out after first losing power at about 5:30 p.m. Monday. The rest of the outages were largely scattered in small groups throughout the community, according to Marks.
