Re: Westin Seattle Outage?

there was a power test of some kind, and a generator flaked or
something.  I've requested more detailed info, but have yet to receive it.
From what I understand, it affected more than just one provider.

Here's the RFO I saw late last night:

During a planned generator test that was being performed by Westin building maintenance, a bad battery resulted in the inability of the back up system to hold power during the transition from commercial power to generator power. This resulted in a service interruption that lasted approximately 7 minutes (22:00PT - 22:07PT).

Before the problem could be isolated, building management switched the power back from generator to commercial power resulting in another service interruption that lasted approximately 8 minutes (23:43PT - 23:51PT).

Still trying to find out what happened with XO.
