CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Almost all of Appalachian Power Company customers in West Virginia, affected by Wednesday’s storms, have had their power fully restored.

The company released an update Sunday morning that said power is back on for about 98 percent of affected customers.

All customers should see power restored by 9 p.m. Sunday.
