The City of Palo Alto had a power problem early this morning, estimated at 7:30PST 9-Feb-1999. Portions of the city were without power, and there are some reports of some telelcommunications carriers in the area being affected. So far none of the carriers I've contacted would confirm or deny any problems, although some customers of carriers did report problems.
P.S. The Digital/Compaq PAIX sent a note saying they were NOT affected.
Earlier today UUNET sent out this message:
Subject: Notification of Incident From: UUNET WorldCom Customer Notification <customer-notify@UU.NET> Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 10:27:21 -0500 (EST)

Calling the 800 number listed gave minimal details, but did identify a power outage as the source of the problem. --Jeff
