Blackout last night?

Anybody know what caused the blackout last night? It seemed to take out Ball Square and Rogers Av from about 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM. How far did it extend?

From the Somerville Journal: "NSTAR spokesman Michael Durand explained that they use a safety feature called a recloser that is designed to interrupt power if there is a problem in the supply. "But in this case it was the recloser that was the problem," he said."

That sounds like another outage, then? The one last night started sometime around 9 or 10pm, IIRC, and it seems like power was restored around 2-3am, but this article refers to an outage "this morning" which makes it sound like it started much later.

The article you linked to was from August 1.
