HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - Hampton residents should be prepared to be without power until Sunday, Hampton Mayor Molly Joseph Ward tweeted Saturday morning.

The storms that passed through the Hampton Roads area late Friday evening into Saturday morning left thousands without power including 6,700 customers in Hampton.
