There was also a fire in the basement of a telco hotel in Cleveland, OH due to a blown/over-extended transformer. The building was evacuated and power to the building was shut off by the Fire Department between 9am and 1pm EST. There was no damage to any telco equipment in the building that I know of.

Power was disrupted in several cities, and even now at least one provider still recovering somewhere in the Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland area. Today, Florida is getting hit with a tropical storm. A couple of providers seem to have a few connectivity problems. Pretty much another day on the Internet.
