Tufts Campus power outtage.

So parts of the Tufts Campus doesn't have power due to "Manhole fires in Medford. Uncertain time for restoration of power - minimum 8-10 hours. "

"Classes may not be held in unpowered buildings. Supervisors may dismiss staff if no power"

But my question is, does anyone know how far out this goes? Will my house in Powderhouse Square likely have power? I live just over the border in Medford.

So, anyone know?

I just got a NatGrid robocall saying "restored between 10 PM and 2 AM".

I don't know whether I'm affected, though. (Medford, but south of the tracks.) What time did things start failing? I got a power flicker this morning, roughly 10:20 AM; it was momentary but I haven't been home since then.

Right around then, I should think; I got to Tufts for a 10:30 appointment and there was no power.

As it turns out, I have power but no cable/Internet.

Well, one step on the Maslow ladder is better than none...
