CHESAPEAKE, Va. — The lights have been turned back on for more than 6,200 customers in Chesapeake who spent part of Christmas Day without power.
Around 1 p.m. Friday, Dominion Energy's outage map showed the outage affecting thousands of customers in the Great Bridge area.
A Dominion Energy spokesperson said a tree limb came down on a power line, causing the outage.
Power was knocked out for close to an hour. Crews were able to quickly respond and make necessary repairs to restore it.
Dominion said that the power company has put plans into place to respond quickly throughout last night's storm, with crews working around the clock.
