The plane crashed about a mile from my house. However, the plane crash cut 
off electricity to the entire city of Palo Alto for about 10 hours. My UPS 
ran out of battery after about 5 hours and then the LUG was off the air.

Here's the official notice from the city utilities department:

Here's a BBC report on it:
