Fire in Cambridge...large power outtage

[koshmom.livejournal.com]

I just got a call from my husband at Pandemonium Books and Games, in Central Square.  There's a power outtage there as far as he can see.  I'm listening to the police scanner (http://scanner.wickedlocal.com/northwest/arlington.php) to Medford, Arlington, Cambridge and Somerville.  Cambridge is quite busy.  Apparently there's a fire alarm somewhere near Cambridgeside Galleria, they mentioned 10 Rogers Street (it's nearish First and Binney).  They keep talking about MIT Building 13 (105 mass ave) too. The outtage map for NStar http://outagemap.nstar.com/outage/OutageMap.aspx shows outtages in Cambridge all the way to the Arlington border, and some if not all of Somerville too.  I have no idea if the outage map just colors the entire city if one outtage is reported, however.  Looking out my window, where I can see most of medford and into Somerville and beyond (it's great living on a hillside) I can see a lot of street lights but house lights seem few and far between, so the outtage may reach into Medford too.
