A severe storm knocked out power across Fredericksburg and surrounding areas as lightning damaged transformers and sectionalizing devices. Crews worked overnight to restore service with most lines back by Tuesday afternoon, though waterlogged roads and flooding hindered efforts near Doss and Harper.
