RICHMOND, Va. -- High winds knocked out power to more than 35,000 Dominion Virginia Power customers Saturday night in Central Virginia, according to Dominion's website. The number of outages was down to around 20,000 by 8 a.m. , then dropped to just under 15,000 by 1 p.m. and had lowered to just under 5,000 by 10 p.m. Sunday.
Dominion posted on its Facebook page at 1 p.m. that "crews continue to work on the 35,000 customers who are still without power.
Officials said that Central Virginia was hit hardest by the storm. As a result, restoration times will not be posted until late Sunday afternoon.
"We expect all customers to be restored by the end of the day Monday, and the vast majority of you to be restored by the end of today," read a post on the Dominion Facebook page. "We know it’s cold and appreciate your patience as we get everyone restored."
Dominion said that restoration times differ based on where customers live in the power giant's service territory.
