Damaging winds blasted through the D.C. region Friday afternoon, causing some downed trees, power outages, and road closures.

A spokeswoman for Dominion Energy tweeted that as many as 46,000 customers in Northern Virginia were without power at 6 p.m. on Friday evening.

Portions of highway in Montgomery County closed due to fallen trees, and D.C. 295 closed temporarily after a tree fell on a tractor trailer.  Residents in Arlington reported power outages in several neighborhoods, according to ARLNow. A tree reportedly blocked a portion of North Glebe Road in Arlington, where gusts reached 65 miles per hour yesterday afternoon, according to Capital Weather Gang.
