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 called nstar, according to the automated message it was just a damaged power line. I'm on Rogers Ave, our power was out from about 7ish-8:30ish.

Yep, I'm on Rogers too. It went out about 6:45, I remember, because we were getting ready to meet someone at 7:00. That's over an hour-and-a-half, which I think is pretty long without electricity!

What causes these outages, and how do they fix them??

Good lord, everybody really *does* live on Rogers. Not a big street, either. (I bought a house here last fall.)
