Tropical Storm Irene Update
Posted Sunday, 8-28-11
As the storm moved up the East Coast past Manassas Park, the City closed its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at 4:00 a.m. Sunday Morning.
The only significant impact of the storm in the city occurred after midnight Sunday morning when more than 1,000 residents on the west side of the city lost power. NOVEC (the electric utility) responded quickly and had power restored to almost everyone in about an hour. By morning, all power was restored.
Monday, City personnel will check areas of the city for any damage not yet reported.
City officials express appreciation to staff for their preparations and for watching over the community through the storm and to citizens for securing yard furniture and other items that could have become a hazard during high winds.
