My house in Reston showed initial power loss at 12:06pm, fully restored
by 13:45.
The construction of the Fairfax County Parkway segment by the
Reston Town Center is probably the culprit.  In recent days
I have seen work done to the main distribution lines that go
through/across that segment.

Was anyone else effected in Northern Virginia?  Other than a couple of
stories about AOL IM being down, I couldn't find any news coverage of
a major regional power outage in Northern Viriginia.  The only story I
found was an electrical fire at Dullas Town Center near the Gap store.

VEPCO customer service didn't know of any power outages.

From what I've heard it was a crane striking a major power line
at around 2pm EST.
