DANVILLE, Va. -Danville Utility crews continue to work to restore power to those who lost service during a weekend ice storm.
More than 20,000 customers were without power at the height of the outage. That number was down to about 2,500 by Saturday night.
Damage is widespread and extensive, and more trees fell Sunday, causing additional problems. The number of power outages was down to about 2,100 Monday morning. Outages that affect the largest number of people are being fixed first, followed by individual interruptions. Crews are working staggered, 16-hour shifts to get the job done.
Damage from fallen trees is extensive in the Kentuck area and crews were still working to restore service at that substation Sunday.
