 The service interruption was apparently a result of a major regional power

 providers who suffered from the power failure. I would expect AOL would
 have back-up power.

Was anyone else effected in Northern Virginia?  Other than a couple of
stories about AOL IM being down, I couldn't find any news coverage of
a major regional power outage in Northern Viriginia.  The only story
I found was an electrical fire at Dullas Town Center near the Gap store.

VEPCO customer service didn't know of any power outages.
