NORFOLK, Va. — Strong storms moved across the region on Christmas Eve and early Christmas Day, bringing heavy rain and strong winds, which led to power outages in Hampton Roads.
As of 6:30 a.m., Dominion Energy reports there are approximately 221 customers without power in Hampton Roads.
Around 9 p.m. more than 100 customers lost power in the Colonial Place neighborhood in Norfolk. Crews restored power less than two hours later.
Joseph Wade and Rachel McCarthy are in the area to visit family and decided to walk their dog to pass time.
"We are making the most of it on our Christmas Eve," said McCarthy.
Wade also celebrates his birthday on Christmas.
Dominion tells 13News Now that the power company has put plans into place to respond quickly throughout the storm, with crews working around the clock on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to restore services as quickly and safely as possible.
Remember to always stay at least 30 feet away from any downed wires.
