The power outage in downtown Norfolk Sunday, caused by an underground explosion, left The Virginian-Pilot without electricity.
Some of today's sections had been printed earlier Sunday. Additional news and sports sections have been consolidated into two sections. Part of the news was produced at the Beacon building in Virginia Beach. We also are being assisted by the Daily Press in Newport News.
Because of the power outage, anyone who started or stopped a subscription over the weekend should not expect the change to go into effect today. If power is not restored today, the circulation customer service department will not be operational. Infoline, our free telephone information service, also will remain down.
We are attempting to deliver today's paper on time. Please understand the difficulties caused by the power outage, and by the icy roads in the region. by CNB
