BGE addresses loud booms, brief power outages in Carney, Perry Hall

BGE has responded after NottinghamMD.com reached out for comment regarding brief power outages in the Carney/Perry Hall area.

Residents reported hearing loud booms, seeing bright flashes, and experiencing momentary power outages early on Sunday and late Monday night.

Monday night’s occurrence occurred just before midnight.

The occurrences were limited to the areas surrounding Magledt Road and Northwind Road.

BGE has responded, stating that they do not know what caused the outages.

BGE writes:

We apologize for any inconvenience. Our records show momentary disturbances in the flow of power to 881 customers [in the Northwind & Magledt Road areas], 21234 on 10/14 and 10/15. Due to the way our system was set up, these outages were able to be automatically restored ensuring our customers only had to endure a momentary outage instead of a longer outage. We were unable to confirm the exact cause of the recent momentary outages in the area.

Loud boom, brief power flicker confounds Carney, Perry Hall residents

What was that loud boom?

That’s what many Carney and Perry Hall residents are asking after hearing the sound on Saturday night and again on Monday night.

It is not likely to be the aforementioned “crop cannon” boom as, this time, each occurrence has been accompanied by a bright flash and a brief power outage.

In a Perry Hall-area Facebook group on Monday night, one individual wrote, “Woah!!! Just heard a huge bang and the power went off for a few seconds!!!”

“It happened two days ago in the middle of the night,” replied another individual. “We had a bright flash as well.”

Monday night’s occurrence occurred just before midnight. Saturday’s occurrence is believed to have occurred sometime in the overnight hours.

So far, the occurrences have been limited to the areas surrounding Magledt Road and Northwind Road.

NottinghamMD has reached out to both BGE and Councilman David Marks for further clarification.
