From CNN:
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A major power outage simultaneously struck several large cities in the United States and Canada late Thursday afternoon. Cities affected include New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Toronto, Ontario; and Ottawa, Ontario. The power outage occurred shortly after 4 p.m. <snip> no word on the cause(s), but a ConEd transformer on East 14th street was said to be on fine...not sure how that could affect other cities, though...

I just lost 80 circuits (Voice and Data), across multiple states on the East Coast in the last 10 minutes. Is there a Northeast power outage or fiber cut that anyone knows about?
Any info would be appreciated...
