Yep, there was a huge power failure in Ballantyne this morning.  I think it lasted for about an hour, but I'm not completely sure.  Lights were out and cops were directing traffic.  Power came back about a minute before I arrived home.  Lots of uptime lost!

The only systems that came back online automatically were my SGI O2, Soekris box, and Juniper firewalls.  The Eee PC and IBM T42 were still online.
