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?

I went out to look at the dark, and from the corner of Francesca and Liberty there were no lights visible on either street. It was pretty bright to the southeast — looked to me like Bay State Rd was fine. A friend suggests that circuits have been branched kind of haphazardly over the decades as demand has grown, which would explain the apparent patchwork, which I suspect properly mapped would look more like a river system.
