We have power in 22043. Never lost it. It flickered a couple times but never went out.

This isn't helpful for people who actually lost power and were asking when it would be back on.

The idea was to give them some sense of the severity of the outage, but I guess next time I won't bother since you judge me unhelpful.

Yo idiot, it was a thunderstorm, not a snow storm. You would have still needed to go to work.

According to dominion website, down to 40k without power. It was 100k at 5 pm. It was 50k half an hour ago. Hoping this means the rest of us will have it back by morning.

Have you checked your fuse box?

It sounds like a power surge might have tripped some fuses.
