Here’s a map of the Pepco power outages from their website:

Another Update: Montgomery County is reporting:

Power is out to more than 200,000 Pepco customers in Montgomery County and left nearly a third of the County’s traffic signals without power. A number of trees throughout the County are down, some closing roads. Pepco has indicated this will be a “multi-day restoration”.

This is how Pepco prioritizes:

In the event our system is damaged by severe weather, Pepco repairs equipment which will restore the largest numbers of customers first. Generally, the sequence is as follows:

Downed live wires or potentially life-threatening situations and public health and safety facilities without power.
Transmission lines serving thousands of customers.
Substation equipment.
Main distribution lines serving large numbers of customers.
Secondary lines serving neighborhoods.
Service lines to individual homes and businesses.
