Storms Leave 110K Without Power | Richmond News

Powerful storms slammed into Central Virginia Sunday, plunging over 110,000 Dominion Energy customers into darkness—especially in Chesterfield, Henrico, Hopewell, and Richmond. A tornado warning briefly hit the region before expiring, followed by severe thunderstorm alerts with wind gusts topping 60 mph and isolated tornado risks. Saturated ground from recent rain made trees more vulnerable, worsening outages. A wind advisory remains in effect until midnight, with gusts up to 40 mph still possible—meaning more downed trees and potential power disruptions ahead. Officials are working to restore service as the situation evolves. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
