Interesting.

CenturyLink has told me that there was some sort of commerical power 
failure at one of their sites, and they didn't have any generators 
on-site.  They were looking to restore power, and I believe they're back 
on commerical power, but we're still troubleshooting circuits that haven't 
come back up.  It can't be a coincidence, but given that they say they 
have power back I'm not sure what really happened.
