Trees, power lines down in Annandale
 |
| A large tree brought down the power lines on Sleepy Hollow Road in front of the Sleepy Hollow Recreation Association. |
Last night’s storm knocked down trees and power lines throughout the Annandale area. But based on a quick drive around Annandale, we seem to have been hit less hard by Sandy than the Derecho, which struck the area June 29. [Please send photos or storm-related information to the Annandale blogger.]
About
100,000 people are still without power in Northern Virginia, Dominion Power
reports. People should assume all downed power lines are live. To report a downed
line, call 866/DOM-HELP.
According
to Dominion, reconnecting everybody will be a “multi-day effort.” Some
customers who have had their power restored might briefly lose service again
due to repair efforts needed to reconnect other homes and businesses.
