Cogent norther california fiber cut -- details?

Anyone know anything about the Fiber cut that took Cogent's Seattle POP
out of commission at about 6 PM (PST) today?

Their NOC seems a bit on the clueless side just saying there is no ETA
and that the cut is somewhere in northern California. Apparently they
have no backup into this market, as I am only receiving routes on my
transit peer with them and have been since the cut. Good thing I am
not single homed, but I feel sorry for those who are.

AboveNet reported a fiber cut at 1852PDT which they believe to be in the Sacramento area. Oddly enough, we saw a regular stream of ~5000 BGP update messages received every five minutes from 2230CDT to 0330CDT; I've asked if this was related to the fiber cut but haven't gotten a reply.
