How the forecast works: we analyze how quickly customers are being restored, whether the outage is still growing, current weather, outage size, and similar past outages in this area. Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned — we publish the results, including misses (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.

Track current power outages in Salisbury, Maryland — customers reported out, restoration progress, active weather alerts, and an independent restoration estimate. Salisbury is a city in Wicomico County; when the serving utility's public feed reports Salisbury directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time, with the county-wide view as context.

Who serves Salisbury — and how this estimate works

We track live feeds for Delmarva Power ↗ in Wicomico County — but several utilities can serve one county, so confirm your own by searching your address on the live map. The estimate uses changes in the reported outage count, restoration progress, current weather, outage size, and available local history. It is independent and unofficial — when a utility posts an official restoration time, both are shown separately. We score our own estimates against what actually happened on the accuracy page. Outages below 5 customers are too small for a meaningful area-wide estimate — the page says so instead of guessing.

Common questions

When will my power be back on in Salisbury, MD?

It depends on the cause and how many crews are working. When's the Power Back? combines the live outage count, the current restoration rate, weather, and local history into an independent estimate for the Salisbury area — shown even before your utility posts an official restoration time. Check the live power outage status at the top of this page.

How do I check the power outage status in Salisbury, MD?

This page is a live power outage status check for the Salisbury area: current customers out, the affected areas on the map, and an independent restoration forecast, refreshed about every 15 minutes from utility outage feeds and national county data. Your utility's own outage map remains the official word for your account.

How do I report a power outage in Salisbury, MD?

Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Wicomico County include Delmarva Power; confirm your own provider, then use its outage line or website. Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Does this page show Salisbury specifically, or the whole county?

Both. When your serving utility's public feed reports Salisbury directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time; otherwise it shows the Wicomico County county-wide view, which still covers Salisbury.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?

Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
