In Adams Morgan we had a few little flickers but nothing that actually cut the power off at any point. Cable and internet stayed on as well.

My question - after all the recent outrage about Dominion harshly trimming so many Northern Virginia trees, why did 450,000 customers still lose power? Did the trimming help or not?

The problem isn't so much branches as tons of entire trees breaking/being uprooted and falling on lines. Tree trimming probably did help some but it can't prevent trees from falling over in 70MPH winds.
