A massive power outage has left nearly 3,000 homes and businesses in the Ballston area without electricity on a cold winter night. This is not just an inconvenience; it's a potential crisis for many residents.
The outage was first noticed on a Saturday afternoon, and as of 5:30 p.m., Dominion's website confirmed that 2,801 customers were affected. The area impacted stretches from N. Glebe Road to I-66, N. Quincy Street, and Wilson Blvd.
But here's where it gets controversial... Dominion estimates power will be restored between 8-11 p.m., but with no clear cause identified yet, some residents are questioning the accuracy of this timeline.
According to Dominion, the cause is still under investigation. This lack of clarity has left many residents anxious and seeking answers.
