Oh well, I guess it was too good to be true. Various customers of at least three ISPs sent me mail describing various issues due to the storms and power failures on Friday. I asked the ISPs about the incidents, and they used words like transient, anomaly, and unusual event. Bell Atlantic was the only ISP/carrier to use the word outage. The others are still investigating.
