Reply to comment by Siggysternstaub in Some photos of the passenger plane trapped in the power lines over Gaithersburg tonight by ageowns

What time did it hit? My desktop computer shut off last night. But I'm very concerned because A) I have a fairly new UPS battery that should work fine and B) the power didn't go off long enough to reset the clocks. Just my desktop crashed while in the middle of a game and the monitors shut off.

It hit around 5:39pm (my power flickered) and I had another large flicker at 9:38pm which was around when they reported that Pepco had rerouted power around those lines.

My computer (on a new UPS) cut out at 5:28. Damn I'm so far from where it happened too. Guess I need to get this battery backup sent back....
