Heavy storms across central Virginia and tornados in the Richmond area set back power companies already working to restore electricity to more than a million customers after Hurricane Isabel swept through the Commonwealth.
An additional 40,000 Dominion Virginia Power customers lost electricity as a result of Tuesday's twisters and storms.
Still, Albemarle county spokesperson Lee Catlin said she expected electricity to be restored to almost the entire area by the end of the week.
Flooding also became a concern in central Virginia as already-saturated ground got a second dose of rainfall.
