A faulty transformer knocked out power to parts of Suffolk and Whaleyville on Sunday, sending temperatures and tempers soaring in about 5,000 homes and businesses.
A Virginia Power spokesman said crews had restored power to about 1,000 customers by 3 p.m., about 75 minutes after the utility first received word that the area's electricity had failed. by CNB
