Dominion Virginia Power estimates 3,824 customers in Fairfax County remain powerless after Friday's derecho, with small clusters of Oakton customers still affected as of 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning.

Each morning, Dominion has released a list of streets where crews will be working to restore power. On Wednesday, the list included Stuart Mill Road, Hunt Road, Vale Spring Drive and Vale Road, Barden Oaks Court, Birdfoot Lane, Bushman Drive, Hunter Mill Road and Miller Road, with many of those areas receiving full power by the end of the day.

"Thank you @DomVAPower crew at Bushman in Oakton, VA. We are back on the grid thanks to team working ALL DAY in the heat," tweeted Stephanie Granlund on Wednesday evening.

A work list for Thursday has not yet been released. Oakton Patch will update this article with the information as it becomes available.
