[outages] Omaha subterranean explosion and fire causing circuit issues

I've seen several hi-cap circuits belonging to one customer in the Omaha
area bounce in and out since the explosion was first heard at 5:45 pm
Central.  A network partner, with a much larger circuit inventory, told a
colleague of mine that they were seeing some circuits in the Omaha area also
doing the same.  

At this time I am assuming that some of the transport gear is losing power
from time to time, or when the circuit is protection switching it's not
working like it's supposed to.

I'm not aware if anyone in the Farnam Building, which appears to be outside
the area affected by power problems, has had issues.
