Let's do this together.

If you live in Lutherville, Timonium, Cockeysville, Hunt Valley or Northern Baltimore County—this is the place to share with your neighbors how Hurricane Sandy is affecting you.

We'll have instant updates in the chat from all over Maryland, as well as from the Twitter accounts that bring us the most up-to-date information about the Frankenstorm's whereabouts.

School closings, evacuation plans, power outages and road closures—we'll have all of that covered. And we'll mix in some of those unique stories from communities throughout Maryland as the storm makes impact.

Even better—you can join in on our coverage: submit photos to our Pics & Clips page, start a Local Voices column to document your experience or post announcements and events on what is happening in your town. 

If you don't already, be sure to follow Luthervile-Timonium Patch on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated on local developments. For our neighbors to the north, follow Cockeysville-Hunt Valley Patch on Facebook and Twitter.

You should also follow our new Facebook page, which we set up in advance of Sandy in order to bring you the top news from around the state.
