Hottest night of the year. Pepco confirmed pour outages and the heat and humidity could be factors. Our Garrett Haake has been on the story all evening talked with affected residents and businesses. Hes live in northeast. Garrett . Reporter debra, thankfully the power is finally back on here in northeast for all but a few dozen people who might still be without it. For a while tonight, though, there were more than 4,000 people across the district without electricity. Pepco says the first outage tonight in northwest was not caused by the heat, but regardless of what caused it all these people had to deal with the high temperatures. At andre jones home in upper northwest the power went off just like that. The next thing we know, bam. You know, so i ran downstairs. I thought maybe it was a breaker. Reporter jones was one of more than 2,000 pepco customers in northwest to lose power around 7 p. M. He and his kids couldnt stay indoors after that. Very, very, very hot, extremely hot. Reporte
