Re: Partial blackout story (not UPS, though)
I was sitting at home when it felt like a really heavy truck was passing and the lights dimmed a couple of times. I thought a truck had run into an electrical pole. Turns out a few railroad cars were dropping off of an elevated track a few blocks away taking out power wires, crushing parked cars etc., and narrowly missing a car driving under a railroad bridge. Fortunately, no one was injured or killed.
