Dominion Virginia Power estimates 54,530 customers in Fairfax County remain powerless after Friday's derecho, including some Oakton neighborhoods, as of 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Each morning, Dominion has released a list of streets where crews will be working to restore power. On Monday, the list included Rosehaven Street at Chain Bridge Road, Bushman Drive & Valentino Drive, and Fox Mill Road & Stuart Mill Road.

"Dang - sure wish Marbury/Weber Rd in Oakton (22124) was on that list :-(," tweeted Rebecca Chanin. "I know the crews are working hard."

In The Four Winds at Oakton apartment and condominium complex near Bushman Drive, residents had crews on site Monday, but they were left half-powered once crews left the scene.

"No AC, partial power. Criss-crossed extension cords to working outlets!" tweeted Joshua DeLung, a Four Winds resident.

"Property mgmt says one of two transformers on-site were restored, hence the partial outage," tweeted DeLung's neighbor, Mark P.

A list for Tuesday has not yet been released. Oakton Patch will update this article upon its release.

As of about 12:30 a.m. the following roads in and around the Oakton-Vienna are closed because of debris, according to 511virginia.org:
