Over 1,500 Dominion Energy customers in Tysons lost power Friday night after a rat infiltrated a piece of equipment, spokeswoman Peggy Fox tweeted out.

Power was restored over an hour later.

Fox also wrote that while trees and branches on powerlines are the number one reason for power outages, squirrels and rats can also cause some damage as well.
