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?

Sometime in the past week or so, there was a 1-hour power outage in East Somerville due to a power line that fell to the ground in a windstorm shortly before midnight, ending after a repair crew did work on the lines in the bad weather. Then there was a multi-hour power outage the next day while crews made a longer-term repair under more favorable weather conditions.

I don't believe that either of these outages extended to Davis Square, but (a) the wind may have caused similar problems throughout Somerville. and (b) I found it interesting that a single event led to two widely separated outages.
