power outages?

Does anyone know the cause of this week's power outages? At first, i just assumed that it was the typical too-many-ACs brownout but it seems like a lot of occurrences in a short time.

Additionally, does anyone know if natrional grid/nstar have sites where they post up such information?

Power went out at least twice Tuesday night in the Ball Square area. (squarea?) It was annoying because you think everything is groovy when they first get the power back on, then you roll over in the middle of the night and have to set your clocks again.

make that 4 times (including Wed. morning), at least for our street
initially around 9something, I think. Then it came back and went back out again around 10:30, stayed on a few hours, went back out around 1am and then again in the morning around 9am.

also, if nothing else, this taught me a valuable lesson: battery backups on clocks are A Good Thing. get yourself some 9V batteries.
