south to the carolinas, georgia, and as far as florida, and as far north as new britain wick, canada. >> reporter: ironically when this tree calm down, it didn't knock out power. >> because the how is itself had power, we were not a priority. >> that meant a delay in moving it. they were fortunate enough to find a tree-clearing crew that could work around the how lines. meanwhile, a different story, no power utility crews yet. >> i'm on a breathing machine, so i'm getting like double punches here. i'm trying to deal with the heath, then my breathing goes, then all my food is gone. >> reporter: a block away, the likely source of the outage, but some help is here, thanks to metro and this cooling bus. >> i was wondering why this bus was sitting here. nobody told me until this morning. so i've been in this bus ever since. it's very cool. >> reporter: some innovation for things like keeping cell phones charged and finally a little humor. >> if i opened up my door, it's like the devil, he says well, come on in, because i'm going back down where i come from, where it's cooler, you know?

is it still the trees that are down? >> i think just the sheer magnitude of the damage. yes, we have trees, wires down, poles, a lot of manual effort that's required. >> marcus, how much of a problem is the heat posing 1234 they're putting in long days and nights? >> you know, we are human, but, you know, this is our job. this is what we do. so i think everyone in this industry, you know, knows when a storm comes around, we have to step up. >> just one quick question. if you're still without power, do you still want to hear from people in the little pockets that are still without, or do you know looking at your grid? >> we definitely encourage customers to continue to call us without outage notifications. they can use our website, we have a mobile app sprabl for blackberry iphone and android users, and you can also just give under the circumstances 877-pepco-62. marcus, thanks so much. >> we appreciate it. the city of gaithersburg just canceled it's fourth of july celebration, including the fireworks display. the city may reschedule if montgomery county is still reeling from the storm. chris gordon continues our coverage. he's taking a look in the damage at bethesda. that looks like a mess, chris. >> it's what you were just talking to pepco about, trees tearing down power lines, then blocking roadways. we're in a neighborhood called wildwood manor. it certainly has earned its reputation. everywhere you go, people have a story to tell. in the wildwood neighborhood two trees took down power lines, snapping a utility pole, blocking traffic. when pepco crews arrived to assess the situation, the first thing they had to figure out is how to get to the pole and then the caravan of trucks took an alternate view. >> he said it's worse in the area, they thought, but, you know, people are conditioning this is a danger, you know, could fall on somebody. they think maybe some wires might become live, you know, hurt somebody. with dozens of traffic signals still dark, maryland state troopers joined montgomery county police directing traffic. at busy intersayses at democracy and old georgetown. in silver spring, the neighborhood around the manor country club was hit hard by the high winds. downed trees and power lines block streets. diana had four trees go down. despite numerous calls to pepco, she says there has been no reaction from them. >> we'll call and then we'll call back a few hours later, and we're told this is the first time near hearing of some of these situations, which we know can't be correct. we're all calls again and again and again. >> reporter: she says they are frustrated, because it's a dangerous situation for drivers and children walking inned neighborhood. they're hoping they see a pepco crew soon. that's the latest live. chris gordon, news4. thank you, chris. well, you know, calling this a storm, that's just not good enough. this thing did more damage than hurricane irene last year. >> experts have put a fancy name on it, a derecho. doug watched them all friday night. he joins us now from the storm center. simply amazing how strong this storm was. what a derecho is, i caused it a mezzo-convective system, all that means is you have a line, there it is, that line will make its way on down across the region. that line put puts out incredible straight-line winds. this is not toerds, no, no, these were straight-line winds that came through our area, from chicago down through indiana with 90-mile-an-hour winds through ohio, over 80-mile-an-hour winds there, and in west virginia, right on down to the coast. you can see the storms coming through the d.c. region. back to the west along the i-81 cordon. watch what happens. he think that heat so hot on friday, and intensified once again. we saw winds of 82 miles an hour. simply amazing the amount of wind we saw with these systems. again, they continued all the way down to the coast. what about a derecho? how often do we see an event like this? in the mid-atlantic it's about one ever four years. chuck bell doing a little research, the last time we had one of these, though, back about 30 years ago. we don't get something like this very often. more common to the north and west, and back toward the west you get about once a year, most of the time they do not reach our area. the good news is things are calming down, but the heat will build back up. i'll show you wen. the scene is much the same across the river in virginia. many of them are still in the dark. news4's jim ross evanfield has more. >> reporter: huge tree across the road, and see those power lines snarled beneath it?

[ female announcer ] the son of a single mom. proud father of two daughters. president obama knows that women being paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men isn't just unfair... it hurts families. so the first law he signed was the lilly ledbetter fair pay act to help ensure that women are paid the same as men for doing the exact same work. because president obama knows that fairness for women means a stronger middle class for america. [ obama ] i'm barack obama and i approve this message. going all these days without electricity and air conditioning isn't just frustrating for senior citizens, this heat can be dangerous. month gonalry county executive visited a home for senior citizens this afternoon, talking to people who are living without power and relies on fans. senior centers, nursing homes are on the priority list for restoration, but leg get believes more needs to be done. >> it's not enough given the number of nursing homes andaged people we have in the community, that you simply need to bring in more crews in order to help. >> ike leggett says pepco's estimate, he's call it, quote, unacceptable. as you've seen, downed trees have damaged homes. >> and the cleanup can be costly. tissue al thompson is here with who -- >> everywhere we went, we saw huge downed trees. the question was who will pay for this? if a tree falls on your house, your homeowners insurance will pay for it. but if your neighbor's tree falls on your house, it's your insurance that pays. if a tree felt on your car, comprehensive auto insurance pays for the damage. if a tree felt and it didn't damage any property, you probably have to pay to have it removed. at folks starts to clean up. beware of nigh by night contractors. for starters, don't rush to hire someone. some fraudulent contractors will overcharge consumers or late them to believe the damage is worse than it really is. check to make sure a company is licensed before hiring, and make sure you get a written contract. it should include the contractor's name, address and home improvement license number. if you plan on filing a claim, remember document all the damage with pictures or video, and don't forget to keep your receipts. jim, wendy? >> great advice. >> tisha, thank you. >> you talk about unique. this was different than the ordinary storm, certainly. >> we really don't get storms like this very often. thises worse than any hurricanes in our area. the reason why is because everybody was affected. you get a hurricane, it will affect some of our coastal counties, but never get winds of 70 to 80 miles an hour in our region across the entire area. the mountains, inland area. most of us fortunate to have some power right now. bright blue skies, a very nice days, it was on the hot side, this is why it's been so problematic. we saw 104, an all-time june -- 97, 99 yesterday, and 94 degrees during the day today. you know you're talking about some heat. still sitting at 91 right now. look at the heat undetection, it's not a factor. heat index is also 91. so you're not worried about the heat and humidity combination. 90 degrees, haguers town 90 leesburg down toward and down towards cambridge, coming in at 90 too. storm radar, not going to see -- i think we'll by safe, and then we'll get into fourth of july, got to think about the holiday in a minute. fourth of july, we could see some fireworks from mother nature as well. we'll talk more about that in a second. satellite and radar showing clear skies. now, frontal boundary just off to the west, it's a warm front. don't look at any of these showers, but tomorrow could be a difficult story, maybe along the blue ridge, but i think it will be farther to the west. a little bit higher humidity. on wednesday, however, i do -- and i do expect at least some scattered storms around our region. some storms could impact the fireworks displays, so you want to make sure you keep an eye to the sky. this evening, mostly clear and warm, temperatures 80 to about 86. this is about 8:00, 9:00, so not a bad evening once we start to see the sun go down. now tomorrow morning, mostly clear, not too muggy. winds out of the north. and those winds tomorrow out of the south will be switching out of the south to southwest. that will bring in a bit more humidity, but still not that much. an isolated storm to the west. and here's your next four days, showing a high of 96 on wednesday. fourth of july will be hot. the heat index could be near 100, so make sure you have plenty of water. 94 on thursday, 97 on friday, with plenty of sunshine on friday, but the humidity does work back in for the weekend. 97 friday, 98 on saturday, some areas could be near 100. the heat index will be over 100 once again, so hopefully we'll get the ac turned on on all those places -- >> you know it. here we go again. still ahead -- >> but first. live pictures in gayers burg. long lines at a dump facility where people are trying to get rid of the storm debris. >> look at the trees there,

and dedication at stake, last saturday night jeneba tarmoh, and allyson felix were in a -- a visibly dejected felix -- >> everyone goes through ups and downs, but when you're trying to make an olympic

due to some okay secured torsos. athletes arms were up obscure the torso. it's the torso that determines both time and place. >> reporter: but there's one big problem. this had never happened before, and the olympic committee didn't know what to do. they came up with a couple options. or even better yet, we can just flip a coin. >> we fully expected the tie we're broken either via a runoff or either of the two athletes bush did you i don't think anyone legitimately thought it had end in a coin toss. >> reporter: after a week of controversy, on sunday the runners made their decisions. >> well, today was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. i was a bit undecided, but i made my decision and say we'll do a runoff. >> reporter: they scheduled a primetime showdown tonight for all the marbles under tahmoh pulled out of the race early this afternoon? wait, that wasn't one of the options, was it? zachary kiesch, news4 sports. that's the reality, though. emotions running high. we may never know why tarmoh conceded her spot. of course they'll be teammates. tarmoh has qualified. no individual event, but a member of the 4 by 100 team. >> so lead with the torso. >> the way technology is, you know, it's only going to happen more and more. they should have some sort of rule for this, i think. >> carol, thanks a lot. >> see you at 6:00. also katy le decki, we talked to her. out of
