Hurricane Isabel swept up the East Coast in September 2003, toppling trees onto power lines and leaving about 1.25 million Marylanders without electricity. Thousands were in the dark for about a week. The storm caused millions of dollars in damage and was blamed for the deaths of at least 38 people.
