The last of our downed PVCs came back up at 14:55. We received subsequent
notification from Pac Bell/ASI/NDPSC that they would have an extended
maintenance window starting at midnight tonight, lasting between 30
minutes and six hours, to do the necessary clean-up.

The event made at least the radio and probably the print media. The big uproar
was because "many ATMs stopped working". I guess that puts the Internet in its
proper place in the scheme of things.
