At 11:18 a.m., Derek Lumpkins reported his lights flickered twice in Roxbury. Nicole Levay reported same, in downtown Boston, at 11:15 and 11:16. Reports of double flickering also came in from Hyde Park, JP and Brookline.
My lights (in Brighton) didn't flicker in any way that I noticed, but my Xfinity router spontaneously rebooted itself around 10:30am. With all this water and electricity falling out of the sky yesterday and today, I suppose these things can be expected.
Maybe I should join the cat under the bed after all...?

South End - I'd just gotten in the elevator when it stopped suddenly and took a moment to restart.
