The fallout from Hurricane Isaias brought storms to Southwest Virginia Sunday morning, leaving thousands across the area without power.
As of 6 a.m., Appalachian Power was reporting the highest number of outages in eastern portions of the city of Roanoke in neighborhoods off Highway 460, where more than 1,500 people had no power. Additionally, about 700 people in Bedford County near Montvale, as well as near Windy Gap Elementary in Franklin County, woke up without power.
ApCo is estimating outages from Saturday night will be fixed by Sunday afternoon, but there is no timetable for completion on any weather-related power failures overnight. WDBJ7 issued a First Alert Weather Day due to the potential for tornadoes from these storms.
