Most of the outages are east of Jefferson Davis Highway in Woodbridge. 

Earlier today, Gov. Bob McDonnell and other officials predicted massive power outages as a result of the storm.

According to the Dominion Virginia Power interactive outage map, the restoration time for these power outages is so far unknown. 

A Dominion representative tweeted that Dominion workers were working on the outages tonight, but also tweeted, "When crew leaders & line workers deem it unsafe to work, they'll seek shelter until the winds subside to safe working levels."
