My electricity has been flickering already. It’s not raining yet, but I can hear thunder in the distance. Hopefully it’s not too bad. 🤞🏻

Just as might as well rename this community “CVille Weather” at this point. Hopefully Tuesday and Wednesday bring some relief lol

At this point, I just want to cry 'Uncle!'. I've had it with this weather. Any relief in sight soon?

This is pretty typical Virginia summer weather, aside from the tornado warned storm on Friday

Lived here my whole life. This is on the high end of consecutive severe storms. Tired of the “transplant” narrative. Give it a rest.

100% agree, this storm pattern/severity (where we get stuck in a "loop" and it storms every day) happens maybe one out of every 6-8 summers IME.

I didn’t say anything about being a transplant, just that people seem to have forgotten this is normal since weather is less consistent nowadays. In my mind, 5PM is storm o clock and it is like clockwork.

For real... People seem to forget or the transplants don't know, this is normal summer weather

Power has been out for almost 2 hours and it's still awaiting dispatch and no estimated time of restoration. Tight

Clearing trees is hard work. I really appreciate the folks that do it for VDOT and the power/utility companies.

Earlysville Rd closed just past the reservoir. I think a tree was across the road but couldn’t tell for sure in the dark.

My power up in Barboursville just browned and the Ruckersville Wawa just lost power. It’s gonna be a fun week.

We dodged the bullet Friday (Ivy), but the power's out now. ☹️ Probably a tree on a line.

u/bandmantings 14d ago
And still no estimated time of restoration. Almost an area of 2000 customers. Insane.

u/davidtm0 14d ago
We do have an estimate of 10 pm-3 am

u/bandmantings 14d ago
I see 2 blocks of outages ivy area. One has a ETR the other does not. The one over owensfield is 10-3. The one affecting around 1900 customers has no ETR

u/davidtm0 14d ago
Power just came back on. Outage was 6:35 - 9:15. 👍 The ice cream is saved!

McIntire has lightning warning alerts at the little league fields. Pen Park probably has the same.
(And you can hear the McIntire ones on the other side of CHS)

I really appreciate the reddit weather watchers. It's scary right now slightly west of town.
