UPDATED Monday 2 p.m.: Dominion Virginia and North Carolina Power crews have restored electricity to more than 70 percent of the 462,000 customers affected by Hurricane Matthew, according to a press release from Dominion.

As of 6 a.m. Monday, 136,600 customers remained without power. The majority are in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, where historic rainfall, high winds and saturated ground combined to cause extensive damage to roads, bridges and electrical infrastructure.

“Extremely hazardous flooding conditions and high winds over the weekend made it too dangerous to use bucket trucks and hampered our ability to initially make repairs at hard-hit locations,” the press release stated.

Now that conditions have improved, crews are out in force and will continue to focus on damage assessments and restoration to critical services such as 911 centers, pump stations and hospitals. There were 433 critical services affected by the storm and, as of Monday morning, 87 percent of them had been restored.

By midday Monday, Dominion anticipates having a projection of when storm restoration work will be complete for all customers.

The company has more than 2,300 people working to restore power, and that number will increase as 500 line workers returning from Florida are brought into service. Mutual aid from neighboring utilities also is being utilized.

“With the extensive damage in our Eastern Region, we expect restoration work there to take several days,” the release stated.

Dominion reminds customers to stay away from downed wires and trees making contact with wires. Stay at least 30 feet away and call 1-866-366-4357 right away.
