WASHINGTON — Thousands of people are without power as Tuesday turned into Wednesday. As of 11 a.m. Wednesday:

• Dominion Power is reporting 1,000 outages, including 200 in Fairfax County and 300 in Loudoun County;
• Potomac Edison has 130 households without power, mostly in Frederick County, Maryland.
