We had a bit of fun last night as well, off from about 6:30pm to 8:30, then off again for only about half an hour from 10:40pm. No idea why, surrounding neighbourhoods visibly unaffected.
Late night maintenance sounds unlikely, but it felt organised, maybe with a clean up for bed break in-between.

Not now, but in the past they had them listed on their Twitter everyday

They are still going to list the areas affected, @wingnut771 is looking for another conspiracy.

What area do you live? I mean I come back every few months and you're still having black outs. Also why are you still here? Didn't you emigrate like a year ago?
