Update: Power at Lake Anne Fellowship House

Update 4 p.m. Tuesday: Dominion says it has restored power to nearly 90 percent of the 1 million customers who lost electric service because of the storms last weekend.  

Crews will work on July 4, and service for virtually all customers in Northern Virginia and the Richmond metro area who lost electric service because of the storms should be restored by Friday night.  

Original story:

Dominion Virginia Power estimates  43,268 customers in Fairfax County remain powerless after Friday's derecho, including some Reston-area neighborhoods, as of  11 a.m. 

Many of those customers are along Hunter Mill Road, where an estimated 1,600 customers or more remain in the dark. Power was still out on Post Oak Trail, Hunter Mill Estates and Great Falls Crossing as of 8 a.m. Tuesday.

The 43,268 is down from more than 1 million immediately following Friday's powerful derecho.

Riders Lane in Reston and many spots in Vienna that may affect Reston are on the list for repair crews for Tuesday. See the complete list here.

At power finally was restored at 4:45 a.m. Tuesday.

Fellowship Square Executive Director Jan Broughton says lunch is taken care of for Tuesday, and after that the building does not need anymore food deliveries.

However, community members who want to help can bring cleaning supplies and gift cards to local grocery stores so that the building's residents - mostly low-income seniors - can replenish their refrigerators.

Some residents could also use help cleaning refrigerators. If you would like to help, call LAFH's main number: 703-471-6474. Ask for Netta or Mae, and they will put you on the volunteer team.

Broughton says that new volunteers will be matched with screened volunteers if they are going to enter residents' apartments.
