Dangerous Power Line Situation in Westover

We’re hearing of a large tree and live power lines down on N. Harrison St. in the Westover section of Arlington, near the intersection with N. Washington St.

Police and fire have the area blocked off and are asking residents on the 1200 block of N. Harrison (near Virginia Hospital Center) to stay in their homes.

We’ve heard at least 10 other wind-related calls (branches, trees and wires down, etc.) since 11:00 a.m.

Currently, just 286 Dominion customers in Arlington are without power, compared to the 7,323 outages in Northern Virginia as a whole.
