More than 7,800 customers are without power in Alexandria as the city and region are hit with severe thunderstorms tonight (Monday).
As of 7:45 p.m., Dominion Energy reported 7,821 customers without power across five outage areas. The outages are concentrated around the West End north and south of Duke Street, but they’ve also been reported in Taylor Run, Rosemont and Arlandria.
Initial word from Dominion Energy is that most customers will have power restored by either 1 a.m. or 3 a.m.
Both Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport are in a ground stop due to the storms, with flight delays building, according to the FAA.
The storms could help in one regard: bringing rainfall as the region has been experiencing a drought.
