In the Gilbert area, we had a power outage overnight from ~03:40 until
~04:50 this morning. I can't nail the times down exactly, but I was
awakened by my beeping UPS at 03:40. Unfortunately, it didn't have
enough battery to last +1 hour. ;-) Looking through the logs this
morning on a server that is not power protected, the last event I can
pinpoint was at 03:30:01 (yes, it's time sync'd with ntpd from multiple
stratum 2 sources).

After the battery gave up, I unplugged the power supplies on all the
boxen and went back to bed. I was groggy when the power came back, but
it was around 04:50. I was awakened again, but this time by the DVD &
Stereo that someone left on last night. The DVD restarted and the
stereo was still at "theater volume" from the viewing last night :-). I
turned off the stereo and stumbled back to bed without restarting the
any computers. Thus, I don't have a good time on power return. :-(
