Someone mentioned a couple of power surges just before the power dropped. I wonder if this has something to do with the massive solar activity they were talking about a couple of days ago. Did that already hit us?

power distribution, but nobody would have believed that
lighting strikes could destroy buried fiber-optic cable
until it happened either.

That was my first thought, the major solar flares that we have been having.
