From what I could see, IRC dropped for a while as did access to our main page. There are reports on IRC that mail was down, too.
We are monitoring the situation and will update when we know more.

I haven't looked at the "big picture" today - but thunderstorms have been wreaking havoc around here. My power was out when I got home this morning. Mrs. Runaway said it went out about 4:00, stayed off until about 9:30. I suppose, as is normal, our foul weather hit Dallas an hour or two before it hit us.
Last night's storms weren't really severe, but it comes soon after the severe storms last week. Any storm hitting patch-worked power lines is likely to knock things down.
It's springtime, so expect the unexpected!
