I also lost connection to my equipment there.
No official word yet either.
Word is that they went back to utility power about 30 minutes ago and
they're declaring the emergency over.
Now begins the fun process of pulling all the gear that got fried during
the power surges. 
For a good link on the incident:

And the spin-control with their official response...
I'm not sure, but I think this is two outages for Equinix in 8 months?
