Re: Really a power failure?
After last night's big thunderstorms, it seems plausible power to the datacentre was indeed hit. Or that a power surge damaged something, which might be reported as "power failure" if the details were considered far too confusing for the readers.
Perhaps they had redundancy against one system being knocked out, but ended up instead with two systems each apparently still working but irreconcilably at odds with each other?
