Since everyone is asking, lets see what the fox really says. Meanwhile, no gekkering over this:
How about those power lines now?
As of 9 a.m., Dominion Virginia Power and the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative reported about 90,000 power outages in Northern Virginia.
Most of the Dominion outages were in Fairfax County with 38,265 and Prince William County with 10,798.
Most of NOVEC’s 24,884 outages were in Prince William County with 21,986.
NOVEC spokesman Mike Curtis said a major Dominion Virginia Power transmission line failed, causing most of the outages.
“The Dominion line delivers power to eight NOVEC substations in Prince William and Stafford counties. Dominion Virginia Power is aware of the outage and is working to restore the transmission line to service, but is currently unable to provide an estimated restoration time,” Curtis said in a news release.
In addition to the failed line, there are dozens of outages due to icing on trees and power lines.
