Nelson County, Virginia
As we first told you just before 6PM last night, folks in several counties including Nelson lost power. At one time a little over 6000 customers were in the dark. “A crossarm broke at a point where there was a knot in the wood. A combination of wind and weight could have been a factor that enhanced an existing weakness, but it was difficult to tell in the dark. When the crossarm broke, a transmission wire fell and made contact with a distribution line below. This caused the protective equipment to de-energize the line all the way back to the Midway substation, which is located on Route 635, north of the Miller School and just south of Route 250,” says Greg Kelly with Central Virginia Electric Coop.
Greg tells us the location of the incident was along Dick Woods Road between Crozet and Batesville.
Reports of power going out quickly became the topic of conversation on our Nelson Mag Facebook Page. People from Wintergreen Mountain to Faber, to Roseland were reporting the lights out.
CVEC crews had the power back on within roughly three hours for everyone.
Excellent work CVEC, thank you!

As of 9PM most of known outages in Nelson are back on. Final checks are being made by CVEC, but our Nelson Mag Facebook friends from all over the area are reporting lights back on as of 9PM, including Wintergreen Mountain.
From CVEC @ 7:47 PM
Monday, March 1, 7:47 PM: CVEC is experiencing power outages from areas fed through the Midway substation just south of Crozet. These areas include a significant portion of northern Nelson County, including the Rockfish Valley, Wintergreen, Woods Mill and Shipman.
While this is a single point outage, due to a broken crossarm along the 115 KV transmission line in Greenfield, the impact is significant. CVEC estimates that more than 6,000 members are affected by this outage.
Repair efforts are underway. Details about the cause of the broken crossarm are not available but most likely due to a fallen tree.
Look for updates in 30 miniutes. Restoration time is projected by 10 PM
A major power outage seems to be underway this evening in Nelson County, Virginia. A little more than 6000 people appear to be without power around 7PM tonight. According to information provided here on the CVEC Outage Status Map, that is the number in Nelson and a small part of Buckingham, Appomattox, and Amherst.
In Nelson we have reports from Wintergreen Resort, Faber, Greenfield, Afton, and beyond without power.
More as we know.

The calendar still says winter, but Rockfish River Elementary School students got a taste of Caribbean music when the James Madison University Steel Drum Band came to perform this past Friday. As part of their multicultural studies, students in PreK – 5th grade enjoyed learning about the history of the steel drum and lively music, and sang along with the band for one piece.
