Melanie alnwick thiselanie a morning in great falls withn the latest on the conditions there. There. Mel, good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, guys. Yeah, i think this is one ofof those areas where probably ably pretty strong cell cameg c through because theres lotss l of debris on the roads, sticks,t and branches and that sort ofor thing and you can see the roadoa is closed here. H were at utter back store road. Ro s also closed at springvale so no getting through this t army we shot some video a vid little bit earlier. Earlier. Its kind of hard to seeind because its dark but obviously theres a very largetl tree came down from a privatete yard, down onto the wires and ws it is pulling the poles down toward the middle of the roadid as well. As w it doesnt look like theyre th actually touching the streettr or that anything has been broken or snapped but certainly a very precariousri situai they dont want anybody any driving underneath that. Ing unra not sure whether this is going t to be a tough fixhi or a relatively simple fix for dominion virginia crews ason v they get out here. H not too many homes down this road, just a handful but no power to these homes. Omes trying to get someet s clarification though fromn ough Fairfax County police as faricef as what the situation is with route seven because earlier wear had a Police Officer come up coe and tell us that they decidedec to extend the closure to routeou seven. Se they didnt want anybodynt a coming in this way but theyis wy were going to allow everyone ern to get out. Out. Now some of that is a littleat l unclear as to whether itsthert actually closed or not. Sed or n. Were going try to get downetow there and check it out as. Ell. Certainly other areas here ins the great falls mheclean arean a also hit as well. Georgetown pike at lawton lto street also thats in thehas ine heart of mclean and then the weve got old dominion road att 123, major intersection there,h, not closed down though becausee of those wires but but wereut understanding only one laneon ol getting by. Thats going to cause a littleo bit of an issue this morning so, thats what it looks like here. Here. We had some flares earlier butft they have burned out. Ey h i think as soon as the lightoo comes up probably well seell some crews out here and crews or theyll start to do what they have to get these roads backac opened. Ened back to you.
