Some 2,750 Dominion customers are reportedly without power in Arlington tonight (Saturday).
The outages appear to be centered around the Clarendon, Virginia Square, Cherrydale and East Falls Church neighborhoods.
Via Twitter, numerous Arlington residents reported seeing the bright flash of a transformer explosion. The East Falls Church outage, meanwhile, is said to be the result of a traffic accident.
