My house in Reston showed initial power loss at 12:06pm, fully restored by 13:45. The construction of the Fairfax County Parkway segment by the Reston Town Center is probably the culprit. In recent days I have seen work done to the main distribution lines that go through/across that segment. KL Ronan Mullally wrote:

Was anyone else effected in Northern Virginia? Other than a couple of stories about AOL IM being down, I couldn't find any news coverage of a major regional power outage in Northern Viriginia. The only story I found was an electrical fire at Dullas Town Center near the Gap store.
VEPCO customer service didn't know of any power outages.
From what I've heard it was a crane striking a major power line at around 2pm EST.
