		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County began recovery from the mega-storm Sandy on Tuesday, after much of the region dodged the worst predictions of flooding and wind damage. But there were still concerns that post-Sandy flooding and environmental damage could affect the county from higher water levels on the Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna River. Most of Cecil County escaped the worst of the hybrid storm, which slammed New Jersey and New York City with record flooding, and widespread local power outages were moving quickly to be repaired by Delmarva and Choptank crews. But state officials and independent weather experts warned that area residents might not have seen the last of the storm as tidal water levels may still rise and cause flooding. Shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley said it was “a pleasant surprise that we were not hit as hard” by the super storm as had been feared. “We prepared for the worst and the people of Maryland really rose to the occasion,” he said. But shortly after the governor’s press conference, state officials reported that the death toll had risen to three, with a report of a storm-related auto fatality in Prince George’s county. Earlier, another traffic fatality was [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(UPDATE 11:55 a.m. Monday)&#8211; Cecil County residents hunkered down Monday as the massive, hybrid storm known as Sandy began its assault on Maryland, and Gov. Martin O’Malley bluntly warned, “People will die in this storm.” Cecil County government shut down all but emergency services operations and the county landfills were closed to customers, according to the county website. County public schools and administrative offices were closed Monday and a shutdown for Tuesday was announced. A “code red” robocall from the county’s Department of Emergency Services on Sunday advised that the storm would be “a long lasting event” and urged citizens to evacuate low-lying areas. The county established an emergency shelter at Rising Sun High School as of 6 p.m. Sunday, but emergency officials declared it should only be used as “a last resort for people to relocate.” And Gov. Malley cancelled early voting for the 2012 general election on Monday, after two days of higher than usual early voting turnout on Saturday and Sunday. (Voting was scheduled to run through Thursday, 11/1/12, but in an executive order, the governor said that there could be a “potential extension” of the timeframe beyond Thursday.)
