Power failures?

I just got home and found my clock radio blinking. The same thing happened this morning. Were there power outages in Davis Square overnight or this afternoon? I'm at Day and Orchard streets.

I was home all day and didn't notice anything, but I'm on the other side of the Square from you (north of Holland St.).

Overnight (or early this morning), afaik. I'm out by the Porter Square T stop on the somerville side, FWIW.

At 6:11 this morning, shortly before I went to bed (I was in bed, reading I Am Legend; good bedtime reading!) the power went off for about 30 seconds, then came back on for a second, then flickered off for another 10 seconds before recovering for real.

I happen to know the time because, while I was in bed and all, that's when I got disconnected from all my IM clients, according to my chat logs ;-)

Hmmm. And all this time I've been blaming my landlady's ancient house for the blinking clock on my microwave. Good to know I'm not alone.
