Some 911 calls in Montgomery County disrupted during storm

Montgomery County officials say 911 calls from Verizon cell phones could not get through to police for a short period during Wednesday night’s storm.

The county learned of the disruption around 11:00 p.m. Wednesday when the call center was told by call centers in Prince George’s County and D.C. that there were problems with Verizon wireless service. Montgomery County Police said in a statement that they immediately contacted Verizon and the problem was fixed within 15 minutes.
