Beware of underground fires
July 15, 2008
TDR Photographer Max Franz got his shot yesterday around 5:30p.m., when a manhole cover on Charles St. just north of Saratoga St. blew.
Luckily for me, I was at a workshop in Northern Virginia yesterday and escaped most of the underground-fire incident. My coworker shared some of the details this morning on our way to work.
Charles Street was still closed north of Saratoga this morning, but we took an impromptu tour of Baltimore City and found our way to the parking garage unscathed.
According to BG&E, all of the power should be flowing again to downtown businesses/residents by this afternoon.
How did the road closures and loss of power affect your workday yesterday? This morning?
