Anyone know anything about the Fiber cut that took Cogent's Seattle POP out of commission at about 6 PM (PST) today?

AboveNet reported a fiber cut at 1852PDT which they believe to be in the Sacramento area. Oddly enough, we saw a regular stream of ~5000 BGP update messages received every five minutes from 2230CDT to 0330CDT; I've asked if this was related to the fiber cut but haven't gotten a reply.
