brief power outage

[xxv.livejournal.com]

We just had the second of two power outages so far this evening. Each lasted at most a few minutes and seemed to be a clean power off / power on (no greyouting that I could tell). It seems somewhat odd, occurring on the nicest day (or at least close runner-up) yet this year.

Has anyone else experienced these blips? Any idea of the cause?

I'm on Highland Road too, and I also experienced both of these. The first one lasted long enough for me to go, "huh?" and the second lasted long enough to get candles lit and flashlights found before the power came on again (oy).

No idea of the cause.

Same here; I'm on Prichard Ave (two blocks east of you). First one freaked out my toddler; on the second one I'd just gotten the computers and UPSes shut down when the power came back on (fortunately, the kidlet was asleep by then).
