Fairfax County Fire and Rescue crews are at RTC West, where they say an “electrical issue” has knocked out power.
The issue is affecting operations at Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant (12130 Sunset Hills Road), which will be closed until the situation is alleviated. The office buildings at RTC West, 12100-12120 Sunset Hills Road, are also without power.
The power went out at about 1:10 p.m.
Our readers said lights flickered in other nearby areas around that time, but electricity returned immediately.
Power surged on Sunrise Valley near Wiehle, but back up after a second.

No, but it did flicker about then. I'm in the Boston ridge cluster

Dominion Energy tells us it is investigating the situation and hopes to restore power soon.
