Danville Utilities line crews have restored service to all customers who lost power during Thursday evening’s storms. These storms produced high winds that downed trees and lines, leaving 400 to 500 customers without power.

At 4 p.m., crews re-energized a line that serves about 40 customers on Ferguson Road in the Ringgold community. A broken utility pole in a wooded area had to be replaced prior to restoring service.

This morning, an estimated 200 customers remain without power. Outages are scattered, but the heaviest concentration of remaining outages is along Ferguson Road, Raven Hollow Road, Hillside Road and Bennett Drive in the Ringgold community.
