How to stay on top of the outage situation in the Dominion service area:
http://outagemap.dom.com/DomComFlexOutageViewer/index.html - click 'Search Locality' in top menu for the situation in your city or county - still nearly half of Arlington out, a bit over a third of Alexandria, 293k overall.
I should count myself rather fortunate that I was only out of commission for 18hr.
